Disclosed is a method for improving cognitive function or for improving coordination of function across a patient's cortical regions. The method includes applying electrical stimulation to at least a portion of the patient's subcortical structures involve in the generation and control of generalized efference copy signals. Internally generated movement of the patient is then detected and, in response to such internally generated movement, application of electrical stimulation is controlled.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'améliorer une fonction cognitive ou la coordination d'une fonction à travers les régions corticales d'un patient. Le procédé consiste à appliquer une stimulation électrique à au moins une portion des structures sous-corticales d'un patient qui interviennent dans la production et la régulation des signaux de copie d'efférence. Le mouvement du patient produit depuis l'intérieur est alors détecté et, en réponse à ce mouvement produit depuis l'intérieur, l'application de la stimulation électrique est régulée.
