A system and method for targeted treatment of human brain function using a combination of physical and mental activity to cause neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in targeted regions of the brain using computer-enhanced dual-task analysis and treatment. The system and method involve having a subject engage in physical and mental activities at levels of intensity or stress associated with increased neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, the mental activities being associated with certain brain regions intended to be targeted by the treatment, wherein the physical and mental activities are assigned based on dual-task analyses of the subject's brain function and machine learning algorithms trained to optimize the stress levels associated with the physical and mental activities to maximize neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. The physical and mental activities may be continuously adjusted to ensure that the subject remains in appropriate ranges for neurogenesis and neuroplasticity for the brain region or regions being targeted for treatment.

A method for achieving super-resolution in localizing electrical fields measured at the head surface with electroencephalography through a generative model of the cerebral cortex that has a very high resolution of cortical surface dipoles constructed from the known properties of human cerebral cortex and adapted to optimize the Bayesian explanation the individual's cortical surface electrical fields. The iterative optimization of the prior (generative) with the posterior (observed) fields with extensive data from extended recordings provides a probabilistic estimation of the individual's functional brain activity that can be used to train artificial neural network approximations of the individual's mental activity.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel technique that is very useful for predicting seizures. A program according to the present invention causes a computer to function as an acquiring unit and a predicting unit, wherein: the acquiring unit acquires log information including at least one of behavior information indicating a behavior of a subject, emotion information input on the basis of a subjective opinion of the subject, and seizure information relating to a record of seizures that have occurred in the subject; and the predicting unit predicts seizures associated with the subject's brain activity or mental activity on the basis of the log information.
