Deep brain electrical neurofeedback allows Parkinson patients to control pathological oscillations and quicken movements
Abstract Parkinsonian motor symptoms are linked to pathologically increased beta-oscillations in the basal ganglia. While pharmacological treatment and deep brain stimulation (DBS) reduce these pathological oscillations concomitantly with improving motor performance, we set out to explore neurofeedb...
