Title:
- Visualizing Deep Brain Stimulation Settings in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
We present a visualization system to explore data collected on Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). DBS is a new surgical treatment in which electrodes are inserted into a patient’s brain. After surgery, settings for the electrodes must be adjusted to find the stimulation that best reduces symptoms. Our tool is designed for interactively exploring relationships between the electrode settings and patient response. This visual exploration allows us to develop intuitions and tentative relationships to target with statistical analyses.
