Mathematical models can be used to improve the quality of life for patients with Parkinson’s disease. The models are used to analyse recordings of brain activity during deep brain stimulation, a surgical treatment used to ease symptoms associated with Parkinson’s.
The mathematical analysis of brain activity can then be used to help neurologists pinpoint where to implant micro-electrodes while performing deep brain stimulation, in order to provide the best outcome for their patients.
