Low-Voltage Cap Could Improve DBS Devices

Treatment to control involuntary body movements characteristic of Parkinson's disease could someday be guided by brain signals recorded by electrodes inside a fashionable hat. That is a piece of a larger goal in the research of Nicole Swann of the UO's department of human physiology. She's the lead author of a newly published study in the Journal of Neural Engineering that, she says, offers encouragement to pursue that notion.
