1. A device, comprising: (9) (2)

a sensor configured to detect a signal from the brain of the person; and

a plurality of transducers, each configured to apply to the brain an acoustic signal, wherein one of the plurality of transducers is selected using a statistical model trained on data from prior signals detected from the brain.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, comprising: (1) (1)

a processor in communication with the sensor and the plurality of transducers, the processor programmed to: provide data from a first signal detected from the brain as input to the trained. statistical model to obtain an output indicating a first predicted strength of a symptom of a neurological disorder; and

based on the first predicted strength of the symptom, select one of the plurality of transducers in a first direction to transmit a first instruction to apply a first acoustic signal.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the processor is programmed to: (0) (3)

provide data from a second signal detected from the brain as input to the trained statistical model to obtain an output indicating a second predicted strength of the symptom of the neurological disorder;

in response to the second predicted strength being less than the first predicted strength, select one of the plurality of transducers in the first direction to transmit a second instruction to apply a second acoustic signal; and

in response to the second predicted strength being greater than the first predicted strength, select one of the plurality of transducers in a direction opposite to or different from the first direction to transmit the second instruction to apply the second acoustic signal.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the statistical. model comprises a deep learning network. (1) (0)

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein data from the prior signals detected from the brain is accessed from an electronic health record of the person. (0)

7. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensor includes an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor, and wherein the signal includes an EEG signal. (0)

8. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transducer includes an ultrasound transducer, and wherein the acoustic signal includes an ultrasound signal. (2) (0)

11. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensor and the transducer are disposed on the head of the person in a non-invasive manner. (1) (0)

12. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the acoustic signal suppresses a symptom of a neurological disorder. (0)

14. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the symptom includes a seizure. (0)

15. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the signal comprises an electrical a mechanical signal, an optical signal, and/or an infrared signal. (0)

16. A method for operating a device, the device including a sensor configured to detect a signal from the brain of the person and a plurality of transducers, each configured to apply to the brain an acoustic signal, comprising: (0) (1)

17. An apparatus comprising: (0) (1)
