Abstract
A method includes determining a measurement indicative of a synchrony between one or more regions of a patient's autonomic nervous system (e.g., the NTS) and one or more regions of the patient's central nervous system (e.g., the thalamus, the cortex) based on body parameter data. The method also includes adjusting a cranial nerve stimulation parameter based on the measurement.
