Disclosed are devices and methods for detecting, preventing, and/or
treating neurological disorders. These devices and methods utilize
electrical stimulation, and comprise a unique concentric ring electrode
component. The disclosed methods involve the positioning of multiple
electrodes on the scalp of a mammal; monitoring the mammal's brain
electrical patterns to identify the onset of a neurological event;
identifying the location of the brain electrical patterns indicative of
neurological event; and applying transcutaneous or transcranial
electrical stimulation to the location of the neurological event to
beneficially modify brain electrical patterns. The disclosed methods may
be useful in the detection, prevention, and/or treatment of a variety of
indications, such as epilepsy, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's disease,
Alzheimer's disease, depression, bipolar disorder, phobia, schizophrenia,
multiple personality disorder, migraine or headache, concussion,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, eating disorder, substance
abuse, and anxiety. The disclosed methods may also be used in combination
with other peripheral stimulation techniques.
