Deep brain stimulation is a treatment method for Parkinson’s Disease. This treatment involves implanting an electrode deep into the brain, which carries a small but serious risk of complications. However, a new stimulation technique, called temporal interference stimulation, may circumvent these risks, and allow for non-invasive deep brain stimulation. Temporal interference stimulation can selectively target […]
