Non-invasive Stimulator

Deep brain stimulation is an invasive medical procedure where electrodes are implanted in the brain to treat disorders like Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, the invasiveness of this procedure creates numerous risks that can occur both during and after surgery. Temporal Interference is a non-invasive method that offers an alternative to DBS by manipulating electric fields in an area of the brain. This approach uses electrode-pairs that are placed on the outside of the head. Each electrode pair produces an electric field, and the area where two such fields meet will be electrically stimulated. Using this method, we will ideally achieve the same results as when using deep brain stimulation but for a larger area and without the risks of implanting electrodes in the brain. This research was dedicated to developing a non-invasive user-friendly stimulator that generates and outputs multiple waveforms for further and more specific research within this field and additional topics of neuroscience as well.
