About this trial
To measure the electric fields induced by DBS (deep brain stimulation) on the scalp and to improve electric field simulations, the investigators will measure EEG (electroencephalography) measurements with high sampling rates (\>100 kHz). The investigators hypothesize that we can improve electric field simulations of DBS by validating and calibrating the simulations based on EEG measurements at high sampling rates (\>100 kHz).

Primary outcomes
Electric potential at the EEG locations
The investigators will extract the DBS pulses from the EEG data and check the distribution of the electric potentials as seen in simulations based on individual MRI and CT images. Parameters of the simulation pipeline (e.g. conductances) will be adjusted so that the simulation models fit the data.
