title: Demand-controlled desynchronization of brain rhythms by means of nonlinear delayed feedback.
abstract: We present a novel method for desynchronization of strongly synchronized population of interacting oscillators. It is based on nonlinear delayed feedback, works on demand with vanishing amount of stimulation, and is robust with respect to parameter variations. We suggest our method for mild and effective deep brain stimulation in neurological diseases characterized by pathological cerebral synchronization.
