Brain implant study reveals how Parkinson's changes social cues
NCT ID NCT06899022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) changes attention and the way people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia perceive emotions in others' faces. Researchers will track eye movements and ask participants to rate facial expressions before, during, and after DBS surgery. The goal is to understand how DBS affects social perception and whether it can be adjusted to improve attention.
