However, current therapy delivers electrical stimulation to the brain irrespective of symptoms, resulting in suboptimal stimulation. Selecting the stimulation parameters is a manual, trial-and-error process that is laborious and time consuming.\u00a0Our projects\u00a0aim\u00a0to improve the\u00a0efficiency and\u00a0efficacy of DBS by using electrophysiology to automatically select stimulation parameters and develop adaptive DBS algorithms. We record brain activity both acutely during DBS implantation surgery and chronically in\u00a0the\u00a0patient\u2019s home environment, correlate it with symptom\u00a0severity,\u00a0and determine the effect of stimulation.<\/p>\n<h3>Speaker Bio:<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Coralie de Hemptinne is an assistant professor in the Normal Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases. She earned her B.S degree in Biology from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and her MS and PhD in Neuroscience from the Universite Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. She worked in Dr. Philip Starr\u2019s laboratory at UCSF as a postdoctoral fellow and then as a research associate from 2010-2020. The current aim of her research is to understand the pathophysiology underlying motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson\u2019s disease patients, using invasive chronic, multisite recordings. Her ultimate goal is to develop new neuromodulation strategies for Parkinson\u2019s disease and other movement disorders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Using Electrophysiology to Improve DBS Therapy Coralie de Hemptinne, PhD Assistant Professor of Neurology University of Florida Tuesday: September 12, 2023 5:30 pm &#8211; Gather and Eat 5:45 pm &#8211; Presentation \/ Discussion 7:00 pm &#8211; End Location: NIMET: Nanoscience Institute for Medical and Engineering Technology Nanoscale Research Facility (NRF) Building, Room 115 1041 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":4029,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page-section-nav.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-10949","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10949"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10949\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12987,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10949\/revisions\/12987"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
