Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether patients who already have a Percept™ PC brain stimulation device implanted can learn to control their own brain activity with help from real-time visual feedback. Researchers will show you patterns of your brain's electrical activity on a screen and teach you techniques to reduce abnormal activity linked to your symptoms. The goal is to see if you can voluntarily change your brain patterns and improve your movement or other symptoms.
Currently, brain stimulation devices like the Percept™ PC deliver steady electrical pulses to help symptoms, but they cannot adapt to what you need moment-to-moment. This study explores whether giving patients direct feedback about their own brain activity — and teaching them to control it — could lead to better symptom relief and potentially more personalized treatment.

During your hospital stay after implant surgery, researchers will connect your brain stimulation device to a computer that displays your real-time brain activity. In sessions lasting about one hour, you will see visual feedback of your brain's electrical patterns and learn strategies to voluntarily reduce abnormal activity. The study team will teach you these techniques and track how well you can control your brain activity, then follow up with you in the short and medium term to see if the skills you learned persist.
