About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to test a new way to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). Subjects will be implanted with deep brain stimulator (DBS) devices and electrodes placed under the scalp.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is there a less invasive method to collect useful brain signals? Find out if these brain signals can be related to movement and/or sleep symptoms.
* How to use these…
