About this trial

The purpose of this research is to determine if the electrophysiologic data collected from standard-of-care microelectrode recordings during human deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery will be the same using the MAVEN device compared with the standard Alpha Omega device with either a tungsten standard-of-care microelectrode (for microelectrode recordings), or a carbon-fiber microelectrode (for neurotransmitter recordings). The number of microelectrodes used for both the tungsten and the carbon-fiber version will be the same as the standard-of-care.

Eligibility criteria

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Multifunctional Apparatus for Voltammetry, Electrophysiology, and Neuromodulation (MAVEN)

    Device

    During deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, the MAVEN device will be used in parallel with the currently used Alpha Omega Device to compare the quality of electrophysiologic readings.

Treatment groups

are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Tungsten fiber microelectrode1 intervention
Group B: Carbon fiber microelectrode1 intervention
