NIH BRAIN Initiative-funded study opens the door to correlating deep brain activity and behavior.
Wireless recording of brain activity: Implanted electrodes stream recorded data to a pocket-sized device worn by a patient. The data are then wirelessly transferred to a tablet and then uploaded to the cloud via a HIPAA-compliant server.Starr lab
Researchers are now able to wirelessly record the directly measured brain activity of patients living with Parkinson s disease and to then use that information to adjust the stimulation delivered by an implanted device. Direct recording of deep and surface brain activity offers a unique look into the underlying causes of many brain disorders; however, technological challenges up to this point have limited direct human brain recordings to relatively short periods of time in controlled clinical settings.
