  • SUPERVISED CLASSIFIER FOR OPTIMIZING TARGET FOR NEUROMODULATION, IMPLANT LOCALIZATION, AND ABLATION
    Publication number: 20260148385
    Abstract: A method for selecting a seed region for use in a seed-based cortical functional mapping method includes providing at least one RSN map of at least one subject, each of the at least one RSN maps comprising a plurality of functional voxels within a brain of each of the at least one subjects, each functional voxel of the plurality of functional voxels associated with a probability of membership in an RSN. A subset of the functional voxels characterizing a contiguous region is selected as the seed region, each functional voxel of the seed region having a probability of membership in the RSN above a threshold value.

  • DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR NEUROMODULATION
    Publication number: 20260112036
    Abstract: System and methods for mapping a network in a brain of a subject is provided. The method includes receiving task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data of a brain of a subject, receiving resting-state fMRI data of the brain, locating effector-specific regions of the brain and inter-effector regions of the brain based on the task-based fMRI data and the resting-state fMRI data, and identifying a network in the brain based on functional connectivity with the inter-effector regions based on the resting-state fMRI data to then generate one or more maps of the network.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHOD OF PRECISION FUNCTIONAL MAPPING-GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PLANNING
    Publication number: 20250044388
    Abstract: A method of performing personalized neuromodulation on a subject is provided. The method includes acquiring functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data of a brain of the subject. The method also includes calculating functional connectivity of the brain between a voxel in a subcortical region of the brain and a voxel in a cortical region of the brain, based on the fMRI data. The method also includes identifying a target location in the brain to be targeted by neuromodulation based on the calculated functional connectivity.
