Deep-brain stimulation therapy delivers electronical pulses to a small region in the brainto treat degenerative brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

The company will use the grants to develop a high-resolution probe that can be designed to deliver the stimulation signals from the probe towards specific brain regions, a technique known as steering brain stimulation.
