Investigating Neural Biomarkers for Gait in Parkinson's Patients

Neural Activity is measured using EEG in all groups. Additionally, in Parkinson's patients, local-field-potentials from deep brain stimulation electrodes are recorded.

Gait-related movement parameters are non-invasively recorded using motion capture, accelerometers and electromyography.

Neural signals are recorded with the electrodes of the deep brain stimulation device. Parkinson's patients are asked to modulate their neural activity by observing the streamed neural activity and applying mental strategies.
