Methods and systems for improving neural functioning, including cognitive functioning and neglect disorders, are disclosed. A method for treating a patient in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes applying electrical stimulation beneath a patient's skull to improve neuropsychological functioning of the patient, and, after applying the electrical stimulation, evaluating the functioning of the patient. The method can further include a process based at least in part on results of the evaluation, with the process including maintaining and/or changing at least one parameter in accordance with which the electrical stimulation is applied, and/or ceasing to apply the electrical stimulation. Accordingly, aspects of the foregoing methods can be used to improve functioning in normal patients and/or patients suffering from disorders such as cognitive disorders.

L'invention porte sur des méthodes et sur des systèmes visant à améliorer le fonctionnement neural, tel que le fonctionnement cognitif et les troubles de la négligence. L'invention porte également sur une méthode de traitement d'un patient, conformément à une réalisation de l'invention, qui consiste à appliquer une stimulation électrique sous le crâne d'un patient afin d'améliorer son fonctionnement neuropsychologique et, après application de la stimulation électrique, évaluer le fonctionnement du patient. Cette méthode peut également comprendre un processus, basé au moins en partie sur les résultats de l'évaluation, processus consistant à conserver et/ou modifier au moins un paramètre selon lequel a été appliquée la stimulation électrique, et/ou cesser d'appliquer la stimulation électrique. Des aspects des méthodes précitées peuvent donc être utilisés pour améliorer le fonctionnement chez des patients normaux et/ou chez des patients souffrant de troubles, tels que des troubles cognitifs.
