Abstract

We present a novel, particularly robust technique for effective desynchronization of neuronal populations in the presence of noise. Delayed feedback signals are administered in a spatially coordinated way via four stimulation sites using different delays for each stimulation site, respectively. The technique is numerically tested in a phase oscillator model and in a physiologically realistic model. We propose our methods as novel, particularly mild and effective stimulation protocols for the therapy of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or epilepsy.
