Presentation Title: Phase-Dependent Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease
Abstract: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is associated with elevated oscillatory neural activity in the beta frequency range (13-35 Hz). Deep brain stimulation is a commonly used intervention to manage motor symptoms of PD in which high-frequency electrical stimulation (DBS) is delivered to targeted regions of the brain. There has been increasing interest in the use of closed-loop DBS in which stimulation pulses are informed by ongoing activity within the brain. The idea underlying this thesis is using phase-dependent closed-loop DBS to deliver pulses at specific phases of the oscillatory cycle to selectively attenuate beta oscillations associated with pathological activity.
