Wearable sensor-driven responsive deep brain stimulation for essential tremor

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective surgical therapy for individuals with essential tremor (ET). However, DBS operates continuously, resulting in adverse effects such as postural instability or dysarthria. Continuous DBS (cDBS) also presents important practical issues including...
