The paper addresses issues concerning the application of deep learning in deep brain stimulation (DBS) neurosurgery. DBS is a functional neurosurgical procedure used to treat conditions in the central nervous system that arise from improper ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown great promise toward treating motor symptoms caused by Parkinson's disease (PD), by delivering electrical pulses to the Basal Ganglia (BG) region of the brain. However, DBS devices approved by the U.S. Food and ...

Automated measurement of affective behavior in psychopathology has been limited primarily to screening and diagnosis. While useful, clinicians more often are concerned with whether patients are improving in response to treatment. Are symptoms abating, ...

In recent years deep brain stimulation (DBS) has seen success in curing adverse effects of several illnesses e.g. Parkinson. Current DBS method uses implanted brain which stimulate neurons. The mechanism behinds its success is still being researched, ...

We present a novel method for preoperative computer-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode targeting that takes into account the multiplicity of available contacts and their polarity. Our framework automatically evaluates the efficacy of many ...

This study presents a set of statistical indexes which allow quantifying the quantity of information contained in physiological signals and its classification for better diagnosis. The physiological signals to considering are constituted by records of ...

We propose an automated method for preoperative trajectory planning of deep brain stimulation image-guided neurosurgery. Our framework integrates multi-modal MRI analysis (T1w, SWI, TOF-MRA) to determine an optimal trajectory to DBS targets (subthalamic ...

Movement disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease may require functional surgery, when medical therapy isn't effective. In Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), electrodes are implanted within the brain to stimulate deep structures such as SubThalamic ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment involving the implantation of permanent electrodes connected to an implanted pulse generator, which sends electrical impulses to specific nuclei of the brain for treatment of movement and, more ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific regions of the brain for treatment of movement disorders. Because of the small size ...

Recently, many groups have reported on the occurrence of brain shift in stereotactic surgery and its impact on the procedure. A shift of deep brain structures by only a few millimeters can potentially increase the number of required microelectrode and/...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment for movement disorders like Parkison's disease or essential tremor. Although DBS is effective in the treatment, the mechanism of action is not clearly understood by now. The accessibility to deep ...

This study describes novel methods for navigating and placing of electrodes into specific structures in the basal ganglia for deep brain stimulation (DBS), as it is common in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Critical to these procedures in ...

Inductive powering can free microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices from tethering to a power supply, thus expanding their scope of applications. We investigate inductive powering for MEMS using a microfabricated coil as a receiver operating ...
