Neuromodulation provides a precise electrical stimulation of neural pathways useful in treating drug-resistant neurological and psychiatric disorders. This technique's efficacy is sensitive to the magnitude and location of neural activation which may involve considerable trial and error.
UW-Madison researchers have developed a method to provide improved stimulation over time to compensate for electrode location variability. The method identifies effective stimulation points using a set of remote electrodes which allows for improved artifact identification. This improved artifact identification can be used to provide an improved display and adjustment of the effective stimulation point and/or can be used for automatic adjustment of the stimulation.
