Removing deep brain stimulation artifacts from the electroencephalogram: issues, recommendations and an open-source toolbox

During the past two decades, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been recognized as an efficient therapy that alleviates the symptoms of various treatment-resistant movement disorders such as Parkinson ’s disease (PD), dystonia, and tremor (Lyons, 2011; Vidailhet et al., 2013; Aviles-Olmos et al., 2014; Fasano et al., 2014; Kalia et al., 2013; Larson, 2014). Recent reports suggest that DBS can also be effective for treating psychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tourette’s syndrome (Holtzheimer and Mayberg, 2011) as well as dementia-related disorders and Alzheimer’s disease (Laxton et al., 2013; Hescham et al., 2013).
