Objective. Personalized transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) has gained growing attention due to the substantial inter-individual variability in brain anatomy and physiology. While previous reviews have discussed the physiological…
In several diagnosis and therapy procedures based on electrostimulation effect, the internal physical quantity related to the stimulation is the induced electric field. To estimate the induced electric field in an individual human model,…
A large scale computational model of the basal ganglia (BG) network is proposed to describes movement disorder including deep brain stimulation (DBS). The model of this complex network considers four areas of the basal ganglia network: the…
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for treating pathological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, Tourette syndrome, and essential tremor. While the precise mechanisms which underly the effectiveness of DBS…
Neuronal excitability is known to be affected by transcranial electrical stimulation. However, due to the existence of both excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the cortex, the mechanism of neuronal excitability shift is still not clear.…
Conventional deep brain stimulation (DBS) of basal ganglia uses high-frequency regular electrical pulses to treat Parkinsonian motor symptoms and has a series of limitations. Relatively new and not yet clinically tested optogenetic…
Essential Tremor is the most common neurological movement disorder. This progressive disease causes uncontrollable rhythmic motions -most often affecting the patient's dominant upper extremity- that occur during volitional movement and make…
Background: Finite element method (FEM) simulations of the electric field magnitude (EF) are commonly used to estimate the affected tissue surrounding the active contact of deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads. Previous studies have found…
We present a nonlinear data-driven Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although DBS is typically implemented in open-loop, closed-loop DBS (CLDBS) uses the…
Cluster synchronization underlies various functions in the brain. Abnormal patterns of cluster synchronization are often associated with neurological disorders. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical technique used to treat several…
We propose to fuse two currently separate research lines on novel therapies for stroke rehabilitation: brain-computer interface (BCI) training and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES). Specifically, we show that BCI technology can be…
Background: Direct electrical stimulation of the brain through intracranial electrodes is currently used to probe the epileptic brain as part of pre-surgical evaluation, and it is also being considered for therapeutic treatments through…
Acquisition of fine motor skills is a time-consuming process as it requires frequent repetitions. Transcranial electrical stimulation is a promising means of enhancing simple motor skill development via neuromodulatory mechanisms. Here, we…
This paper presents the results of our recent work on studying the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and medication on the dynamics of brain local field potential (LFP) signals used for behavior analysis of patients with Parkinson s…
The use of small amplitude electric currents delivered through the scalp, termed transcranial current stimulation (tCS, tDCS / tACS when using DC / AC currents) holds considerable promise for developing safe and effective treatments for…
The reconstruction of brain neural network connections occurs not only during the infancy and early childhood stages of brain development, but also in patients with cognitive impairment in middle and old age under the therapy with…
Whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) benefits stroke rehabilitation remains unclear. To investigate how tDCS reorganizes brain circuitry, nineteen post-stroke patients underwent rehabilitation sessions with bi-hemispheric…
Growing evidence suggests that phase-locked deep brain stimulation (DBS) can effectively regulate abnormal brain connectivity in neurological and psychiatric disorders. This letter therefore presents a low-power SoC with both neural…
Purpose: This study investigates the feasibility of transcutaneous interferential spinal cord stimulation (tISCS), a novel non-invasive neuromodulation method, using temporal interference to enhance focality and comfort in spinal cord…
The present literature about possible mechanisms behind the effectivity of noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation in major depressive disorder (MDD) is not very rich. Despite extensive research in applications for clinical practice, the…
