Summary

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) changes movement in people with conditions like Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. About 60 people scheduled for DBS surgery will have extra temporary electrodes placed on the brain to measure muscle activity during stimulation. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms behind DBS, not to provide a new treatment.
