Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder characterized by the pathological beta band (15â30 Hz) neural oscillations within the basal ganglia (BG). It is shown that the suppression of abnormal beta oscillations is correlated with the improvement of PD motor symptoms, which is a goal of standard therapies including deep brain stimulation (DBS). To overcome the stimulation-induced side effects and inefficiencies of conventional DBS (cDBS) and to reduce the administered stimulation current, closed-loop adaptive DBS (aDBS) techniques were developed. In this method, the frequency and/or amplitude of stimulation are modulated based on various disease biomarkers.
