Current projects
Chronologic Pallidal Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Studies adaptive deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, in which the stimulation adjusts over time to a patient's needs.
Dual Lead Thalamic DBR-DBS Interface for Closed Loop Control of Severe Essential Tremor
Studies a closed-loop deep brain stimulation system that adjusts automatically, aimed at severe essential tremor, using leads in the thalamus.
