A Systematic Comparison of tTIS Optimization Approaches for Focal Neuromodulation

paul ghanem, Armin Moharrer, Mathew P. Yarossi, Alan D. Dorval, Dana H. Brooks, Sumientra M. Rampersad

This paper benchmarks seven tTIS optimization methods across 250 brain targets to provide evidence-based recommendations for selecting the best method based on target location, tissue type, and computation time.

Defining the impact of deep brain stimulation contact size and shape on neural selectivity

Daria Nesterovich Anderson, Alan D. Dorval, John David Rolston, Stefan M. Pulst, Collin J. Anderson

This study investigates how the size and shape of deep brain stimulation contacts affect neural selectivity, finding that smaller contacts better constrain activation to nearby grey matter but are less energy efficient.

Neural Selectivity, Efficiency, and Dose Equivalence in Deep Brain Stimulation through Pulse Width Tuning and Segmented Electrodes.

Collin J. Anderson, Daria Nesterovich Anderson, Stefan M. Pulst, Christopher R. Butson, Alan D. Dorval

This study investigates how pulse width tuning and segmented electrodes affect deep brain stimulation, finding that long pulse widths reduce side effects and improve battery efficiency.
