However, current adaptive DBS techniques are primarily based on single-feature thresholding, precluding an optimized delivery of stimulation for precise control of motor symptoms. Here, we propose to use a machine learning approach for resting-state tremor detection from local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from subthalamic nucleus (STN) in 12 Parkinson's patients. We compare the performance of state-of-the-art classifiers and LFP-based biomarkers for tremor detection, showing that the high-frequency oscillations and Hjorth parameters achieve a high discriminative performance. In addition, using Kalman filtering in the feature space, we show that the tremor detection performance significantly improves (F<sub>(1,15)</sub>=32.16, p<0.0001).

Short biphasic pulses are used to avoid irreversible electrochemical reactions at the electrode-tissue interfaces. Biphasic pulses are effective at exciting neurons, but quite limited in inhibiting their activity. In contrast, direct current can both excite and inhibit neurons, however delivered to metal electrodes, it causes toxic electrochemical reactions. We recently introduced Safe Direct Current Stimulator (SDCS) technology, which can excite or inhibit neurons without violating the safety criteria. Instead of direct current, SDCS generates an ionic direct current (iDC) from a biphasic input signal using a network of fluidic channels and mechanical valves. A key enabler towards transforming SDCS concept from a benchtop design to an implantable neural prosthesis is the design of a miniature valve.
