MIT researchers develop noninvasive scalp electrode method for deep brain stimulation, potentially aiding in Parkinson's treatment.

MIT researchers are developing a noninvasive method using electrodes on the scalp for deep brain stimulation. This approach could make the procedure less risky, less expensive, and more accessible to patients, as it avoids the need to open the skull and implant electrodes. The new method could potentially aid in treating brain diseases such as Parkinson's.
