Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for neurological treatment. The system of the invention includes a neurological stimulation (NS) modality that delivers neurological stimulation to a first brain region and a cognitive training (CT) that delivers CT to a second brain region, where activation of the CT modality occurs at a predetermined time relative to the activation period of the NS modality. In one embodiment, the NS and CT are interlaced. The first and second brain regions may be the same brain regions or different brain regions. The invention may be used, for example, in the treatment of dementia, neurological conditions or psychiatric conditions.
