OBJECTIVE: This paper obtains strategies that can achieve spatially precise noninvasive deep brain stimulation using electrical currents.
METHODS: We provide the Spatio-Temporal Interference-based stiMULation focUsing Strategy (STIMULUS) that generates rich patterns of spatiotemporally interfering currents to stimulate precisely and deep inside the brain. To calibrate and compare the accuracy of stimulation using different techniques, we utilize computational Hodgkin-Huxley-type models for neurons and a model of current dispersion in the head.
RESULTS: In this computational model, STIMULUS dramatically outperforms the recently proposed Temporal Interference (TI) stimulation strategy in spatial precision. Our results also suggest that STIMULUS can attain steerable and multisite stimulation, which can be important in giving feedback in brain-machine interfaces. Finally, by examining more mammalian neuron types, we also observe that not every neuron exhibits temporal-interference stimulation.
CONCLUSIONS: Computer simulations suggest that the proposed STIMULUS strategy has potential to achieve noninvasive electrical deep brain stimulation with high spatial precision and, further, has the flexibility of generating rich stimulation patterns. The fact that some neuron types do not exhibit TI stimulation suggests that caution is needed in evaluating conclusions of application of TI stimulation on large mammalian brains.
SIGNIFICANCE: A technique to reliably, noninvasively, and precisely stimulate deep inside the human brain could revolutionize human neuroscience and clinical treatments. We obtain the first computational demonstration of the recently proposed TI stimulation. Advancing on that, we propose a novel strategy that can perform stimulation with high precision and flexibility.
