Deep brain stimulation: increasing efficiency by alternative waveforms
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is based on the effect of high frequency stimulation (HFS) in neuronal tissue. As a therapy option for patients suffering from e.g. Parkinson’s disease, DBS has been used for decades. Despite the widespread use, the effect of HFS on neurons is not fully investigated. Imp...
