Title: Cognitive Control-Informed Application for Optimizing Deep Brain Stimulation in Psychiatric Disorders for Enhanced Patient Care
This study seeks to make deep brain stimulation programming better for psychiatric disorders by using a more reliable measure than relying only on how patients feel. We're trying out different methods to see which ones work best at finding the right settings. In the end, we want to create a tool for doctors to use when programming deep brain stimulation, based on what we learn from this research.
