Abstract: | In detailed simulations we present a coordinated delayed feedback stimulation as a particularly robust and mild technique
for desynchronization. We feed back the measured and band-pass filtered local filed potential via several or multiple sites
with different delays, respectively. This yields a resounding desynchronization in a naturally demand-controlled way. Our
novel approach is superior to previously developed techniques: It is robust against variations of system parameters, e.g.,
the mean firing rate. It does not require time-consuming calibration. It also prevents intermittent resynchronization typically
caused by all methods employing repetitive administration of shocks. We suggest our novel technique to be used for deep brain
stimulation in patients suffering from neurological diseases with pathological synchronization, such as Parkinsonian tremor,
essential tremor or epilepsy. |
