Project B5

Individualized Deep Brain Stimulation

The new sensors will be tested to measure the brain areas stimulated with deep brain stimulation e.g. for Parkinson’s disease. As the stimulated field is responsible for effects and side effects of the stimulation, this will enable the clinician to meet the individual needs of the specific symptom profile. The work packages will include the development of optimal sensor locations, algorithms to locate the stimulated electrode and complex feed-forward solutions for the stimulated area. The project will combine the development of recording and analysis techniques and clinical projects.

Role within the Collaborative Research Centre

This project is an application project from the viewpoint of the sensor development. The new sensors will be tested with this paradigm and the narrow band sensors will be specifically interesting for this project. From the clinical neuroscience point of view it is a addressing an important point within the present development of new and more customizable electrodes. It is expected that a device as planned in this project will be able to improve patient specific programming.

The project B5 will participate in the focus group F3 “Biomagnetic Signal Analysis”.
