A method for determining a stereotactic brain target includes at least one target point, the method comprising the following steps: selecting patients for whom the result measured following treatment at at least one target point is greater than or equal to a threshold, postoperative imaging having been performed for each of the patients; processing the postoperative imaging so as to determine coordinates of the at least one target point; selecting brain marker points; processing the postoperative imaging so as to determine coordinates of the marker points; creating a learning database comprising the coordinates of the target points and the coordinates of the marker points determined for all of the selected patients; determining a prediction function giving the coordinates of at least one target point according to the coordinates of the marker points by using the learning database and a supervised statistical learning method; processing preoperative imaging of a new patient to be treated so as to determine coordinates of the marker points of the new patient; using the prediction function so as to obtain the coordinates of at least one target point for the new patient according to the coordinates of the marker points determined for the new patient.
