Device & Method for Monitoring Motor Responsiveness During Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Background on CU5474H Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is commonly used for the treatment of movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease. As part of awake DBS implantation surgery, neural activity is recorded from brain structures to aid in targeting specific anatomic regions. Features of the recorded neural activity (i.e. firing rate, waveform)...

Software that identifies sleep states from deep brain signals

A University of Colorado research team has developed software which can interpret brain patterns in order to determine whether the patient is awake or asleep that can be used with closed-loop DBS. The technology uses artificial neural networks to determine a patient’s sleep state. It was trained from PD patients with implanted DBS electrodes in...
