[2]Department of Natural Sciences, Middlesex University, London, United Kingdom

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a therapeutic tool used for a number of neurological disorders including chronic pain, incontinence and movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. DBS consists of the low-frequency stimulation of an area of the brain, known as basal ganglia. ... En savoir plus

Impedance Spectroscopy and Cell Constant of the Electrodes for Deep Brain Stimulation

E. Vinter[1], S. Petersen[1], J. Gimsa[2], and U. van Rienen[1]

[1]Institute of General Electrical Engineering, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany
[2]Institute of Biology, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany

To achieve a deeper understanding of the mechanism of the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) scientists use more and more numerical simulations. DBS inhibits overreaching brain activity via electric pulses that send into the brain by electrodes. Different electrode parameters such as geometry, ... En savoir plus

Thin Membrane Modelling for the Electrical Stimulation of Auditory Nerve
