I found these through google.

See also the section titled "When is neuropsychology useful in epilepsy? " in this article:

See the section titled "Drug resistant epilepsy is successfully treated with biofeedback of slow cortical potentials" in this article :

I'm not a doctor of course so I can't evaluate whether this information is appropriate to your brother's case

Thank you for the information. I don't know why I have a hard time looking some things up on the internet. It is actually kind of an interesting subject to read about. He does have temporal lobe that at one point were controlled with medication. He also has the VNS that has been unsuccessful.

Did they try the special diet for epileptic patients?
