Now, a new algorithm developed by Brown University bioengineers could be an important step toward such adaptive DBS. The algorithm removes a key hurdle that makes it difficult for DBS systems to sense ...

Wearable health sensors such as photoplethysmography (PPG) wristbands, ECG patches and multi-modal biometric devices are typically developed and calibrated under controlled laboratory conditions.

Researchers have developed a technique that could allow deep brain stimulation devices to sense activity in the brain and adjust stimulation accordingly. By delivering small electrical pulses directly ...
