A method and apparatus for forecasting and controlling neurological Abnormalities in humans such as seizures or other brain disturbances. The system is based on a multi-level control strategy (200). Forecasting is achieved by indicating the probability of an oncoming seizure within one or more time frames, which is accomplished through an inner-loop control law and a feedback necessary to prevent or control the neurological event by either electrical, chemical, cognitive, sensory and/or magnetic stimulation (300).

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 11, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 11, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 11, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
