Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling brain activity are provided. In some aspects, a method for controlling a synchrony in brain activity of a subject is provided. The method includes positioning stimulators to stimulate a first region and a second region of a subject's brain, and selecting a pulsed stimulation sequence comprising a first stimulation to the first region and a second stimulation to the second region, wherein the stimulations are timed to be substantially concurrent and separated by a phase lag. The method also includes delivering the pulsed stimulation sequence, using the stimulators, to control a synchrony between the first region and the second region at a predetermined frequency.
