<h4>Objective</h4>The effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) depends on both the frequency and the temporal pattern of stimulation. We quantified responses to cycling DBS with constant frequency to determine if there was a critical on and/or off time for alleviating tremor.<h4>Methods</h4>We measured postural tremor in 10 subjects with thalamic DBS and quantified neuronal entropy in a network model of Vim thalamic DBS. We tested 12 combinations of cycling on/off times that maintained the ...[more]
