Abstract

Direct interference with brain function using permanent implanted stimulation electrodes is a new successful approach in among others Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and depression. In this project we study the basic mechanisms that are involved and use that knowledge to design new stimulation protocols and paradigms. The work involves in-vitro measurements, but also measurements in epilepsy patients (in Ghent) and is supported by the industry (Philips Medical Systems).
