## TL;DR

This paper introduces a minimally invasive neurostimulation technique designed to desynchronize specific brain regions, effectively reducing epileptic seizures by controlling abnormal neural synchronization.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel, minimally invasive method for controlling brain synchronization to mitigate epilepsy, advancing neurostimulation techniques.

## Key findings

- Effective desynchronization of targeted brain zones
- Reduction in seizure onset frequency
- Potential for less invasive epilepsy treatment

## Abstract

Many coordination phenomena in Nature are grounded on a synchronisation regime. In the case of brain dynamics, such self-organised process allows the neurons of particular brain regions to behave as a whole and thus directly controlling the neural activity, the muscles and finally the whole human body. However, not always such synchronised collective behaviour is the desired one, this is the case of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or epilepsy where abnormal synchronisation induces undesired effects such as tremors and epileptic seizures. In this paper we propose an innovative, minimally invasive, control method able to effectively desynchronise the interested brain zones and thus to reduce the onset of undesired behaviour.
