A method for assessment, optimization and logging of the effects of a therapy for a medical condition, including (a) receiving into a signal processor input signals indicative of the subject's brain activity； (b) characterizing the spatio-temporal behavior of the brain activity using the signals； (c) delivering a therapy to a target tissue of the subject； (d) characterizing the spatio-temporal effect of the therapy on the brain activity； (e) in response to the characterizing, optimizing at least one parameter of the therapy if the brain activity has not been satisfactorily modified and/or has been adversely modified by the therapy； (f) characterizing the spatio-temporal effect of the at least one optimized parameter； and (g) logging to memory the at least one optimized parameter. A computer readable program storage unit encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, performs the method.
