A rule-based expert system for real-time feedback-control in deep brain stimulation

Programming in deep brain stimulation (DBS) is often a labour-intensive process. Although automatic closed-loop stimulation has recently been receiving considerable attention, it is still far from clinical settings. Testing in-loop stimulation in a clinical setting is extremely challenging due to ma...

A rule-based expert system for real-time feedback-control in deep brain stimulation
description Programming in deep brain stimulation (DBS) is often a labour-intensive process.
