Volitional deep brain stimulation following brain-computer interface training for Parkinson's disease

Volitional DBS (vDBS)--a paradigm in which patients use brain-computer interface (BCI) training to learn self-regulation of a neural signal that then controls closed-loop DBS)--is demonstrated, establishing that volitional control of intracranial neurostimulation is achievable without the need of an externalized manual controller.
