Background:

Repetitive neural firing is implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders like Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
Current electrotherapy aims to reduce or cease abnormal neural firing, often through manual current adjustment.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and simulate an automated electrotherapy system for precise neural stimulation.
To investigate the efficacy of a feedback-controlled current injection method.

Main Methods:

A modified Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model represented the nerve cell behavior.
Linearization of the HH model enabled the application of Riccati equations for optimal control.
A computer simulation was performed using a feedback loop for automatic current adjustment.
