TABLE 4.
Biomarkers Classified by Control Subtypes
| Control mode/class | Specific examples of biomarkers/devices | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Simple continuous | Open Loop DBS | All adjustments via clinician/direct patient observation |
| Intermittent | ANT DBS | Scheduled on preset timing, therefore no biomarkers used (exception: VNS and heart rate as biomarker preceding seizure event) |
| VNS | ||
| Responsive/triggered | Neuropace | Predetermined output in response to threshold |
| DBS for tourette | Conditional output in response to motor cortex patterned responses | |
| DBS for essential tremor | Output in response to motor cortex movement initiation signal | |
| Adaptive | DBS for Parkinson disease (eg, PC + S and RC + S) | Currently external; response tailored to continuous input signal. |
| Includes motor cortex/STN coherence (eg, PAC), spontaneous beta band, stimulation-evoked responses. | ||
| Closed Loop | Braingate system | Multiple inputs (∼100 channels) process to form contingent output |
| Other custom systems |
