DESCRIPTION:Presenting on “Closed-Loop Brain Stimulation”. \n\nWarren M. Gr
 ill\, PhD\, Edmund T. Pratt\, Jr. School Distinguished Professor of Biomedi
 cal Engineering at Duke University\, will speak on Thursday\, February 6\, 
 2025 at 10:00 am in Whitaker 218.\n\nAbstract: Electrical stimulation of th
 e nervous system is an effective therapy for a range of neurological diseas
 es and disorders including chronic pain\, Parkinson’s disease\, urinary inc
 ontinence\, epilepsy and deafness. These devices typically operate “open-lo
 op”\, and the parameters of stimulation (the dose) are invariant\, even in 
 the face of changes in the needs or activity of the patient. I will summari
 ze our work to develop\, implement\, and evaluate closed-loop deep brain st
 imulation (DBS\; a brain pacemaker) for the treatment of Parkinson’s diseas
 e. In closed-loop DBS\, the parameters of stimulation is adjusted automatic
 ally in response to dynamic changes in brain signals. I will describe our e
 fforts to characterize how brain signals very with the symptoms of PD\, our
  initial evaluations of closed-loop DBS in the clinic\, and our ongoing eff
 orts to port use and evaluations to the home environment. Finally\, I will 
 highlight ongoing work to identify and exploit other potential feedback sig
 nals that can enable more informed adjustment of stimulation parameters. Co
 llectively\, this results highlights the potential of neural stimulation th
 erapies responsive in real time to the needs of patients.\n\nRegistration t
 o attend virtually is required. Please register.
