Abstract
Methods and systems for providing deep brain stimulation (DBS) for a patient are described. Electrical stimulation is provided to a patient's brain and evoked potentials (EPs) are recorded at two or more electrodes. The EPs evoked and/or recorded at different electrodes are used to estimate if the respective electrodes are located in the same or different anatomical brain regions. The EPs may also be used to predict or suggest appropriate stimulation rates for therapeutic stimulation.
