Why Start with Epilepsy? ü Most-studied neurological disorder 4th MOST COMMON NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER MOST COMMON ONE IN CHILDREN ü First step to learn basic brain mechanisms ü Human tissue and ieeg data available 65 MILLION 1/3 DRUG-RESISTANT $15.5 BILLION <%35 SURGERY SUCCESS Seizure-free with medications Partially controlled by surgery Need alternative therapies 23
Parkinson s Disease (PD) One of the most common neurodegenerative diseases Symptoms include muscle rigidity, 4-7 Hz rest tremor and akinesia 24
Deep Brain Stimulation Constant high-frequency (130 Hz) stimulation to the internal segment of the globus pallidum (GPi) or the subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS reduces by 50% the motor scores of UPDRS (Unified Parkinson s Disease Rating Scale) 25
Closed-Loop v.s. Open-Loop Conventional DBS: parameters adjusted by a clinician frequency, pulse width and intensity Closed-loop adaptive DBS (adbs) Better efficacy Lower surgical and stimulation-related side effects Lower cost B. Rosin et al. 26
Other Applications: Migraine Prediction The most prevalent neurological disorder In the U.S. more than 37 million people During the most productive years Treatment Most effective if applied in an early stage Potential diagnostic biomarkers: HFOs in somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) Brainstem auditory evoked potentials Features of resting-state EEG Na+ fluctuations in CSF 27
