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.
Sapiens chief technology officer Michel Decré said combining Sapiens high-resolution, thin-film probe with image-based planning and programming software will help improve the therapeutic outcome of deep-brain stimulation.
