Abstract
The novel study of the epileptogenesis mechanisms\footnote{ E.M. Goldberg and D.A Coulter, Nat. Rev. Neurosci.14(5), 337 (2013).} is proposed. It is based on the pulsed-operated (amplitude modulation) multi-photon (frequency modulation) fiber-laser interaction with the brain epilepsy-topion (the epilepsy onset area),\footnote{ V. Stefan, B.

The repetition frequency, $\Omega $, matches the low frequency (epileptic) phonon waves in the brain. The laser repetition frequency (5-100 pulses per second) enables the resonance-scanning of the wide range of the phonon (possible epileptic-to-be) activity in the brain. The tunable fiber laser frequencies, $\Delta \omega $ (multi photon operation), are in the ultraviolet frequency range, thus enabling monitoring of the electrical charge imbalance (within the 10s of milliseconds), and the DNA-corruption in the epilepsy-topion, as the possible cause of the disease.
