Non-Invasive Deep Brain Stimulation Based on Segmentation Process

Abstract


Due to increase of aging population and increase of movement disorder patients there is a need of reducing the disorder by considering various methods and reduction of overall cost of the treatment method. Recently movement disorders are treated in many ways but it causes some side effects such as stroke occurrence, spinal cord problems and it is highly economical. To minimize the neurosurgical intervention of human, a noninvasive deep brain stimulation method is proposed in which the force feedback signal stimulates the nerve of the deep brain. In this proposed technique, minimum numbers of nerves which are correlated with hand and legs has been identified for stimulating the deep brain by DTCWT and if the nerves attain force feedback signal directly in the form of non-invasive type the patient get recovered without any side effects and the stimulation mechanism is done by the doctors.
