A DC electric field is applied to brain tissue in parallel alignment with urons thereof during periods of brief duration while the tissue is undergoing epileptic activity. The electric field is controllably changed in polarity and magnitude to modify such epileptic activity based on data obtained by recording such activity through electrodes that are isopotentially aligned within the electric field imposed on a slice of the brain tissue.
