Abstract
Methods of providing electrical neural modulation to a patient's brain are disclosed herein. The methods involve differentially modulating two or more target regions of the brain. For example, a first target region may be provided with an electrical neural modulation signal that activates that target region while a second target region is provided with an electrical neural modulation signal that suppresses or deactivates that target region. As the implantable pulse generators (IPGs) described herein include independent current sources, such differential modulation can be provided with a single IPG.
