Abstract
A neural targeting system and method for deep brain stimulation procedures, or other types of brain surgeries requiring targeting, provides high spatial resolution and real-time targeting analysis to identify structural boundaries resulting in increased spatial accuracy. The system and method uses quantitative electrophysiology to update static brain images with an actual microelectrode location and trajectory in the brain to ensure correct placement of a later implanted stimulation probe.
