Overview
To measure the electric fields induced by DBS (deep brain stimulation) on the scalp and to improve electric field simulations, the investigators will measure EEG (electroencephalography) measurements with high sampling rates (\>100 kHz). The investigators hypothesize that we can improve electric field simulations of DBS by validating and calibrating the simulations based on EEG measurements at high sampling rates (\>100 kHz).
Interventions
- Other EEG recording
EEG will be recorded at high sampling rate
Primary outcome measures
- Electric potential at the EEG locations [Time frame: during DBS]
