Brain Sensing & Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation: Potential for Dystonia

The Dystonia Support & Advocacy Group of San Diego County hosted a virtual meeting with Philip Starr, MD, Professor of Neurological Surgery at UC San Francisco. Dr. Starr and UCSF neurologist Dr. Jill Ostrem are directors of a multidisciplinary clinic for neuromodulation in movement disorders. Dr. Starr, along with colleagues Paul Larson and Alastair Martin, developed a novel technique for implanting deep brain stimulators using a skull-mounted aiming device within a high field MRI scanner.
