In recent years, numerous developments have taken place in the field of neuromodulation. The introduction of newer technologies, software and increasing understanding of brain physiology in neurological and psychiatric conditions have shaped this rapidly growing field. To create a space where all stakeholders could freely interact to discuss challenges, advancements and opportunities in the field, the first Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Think Tank took place in 2012 in Gainesville Florida at the University of Florida. Since then, the meeting has grown to a hybrid virtual and in person meeting expanding the number of participants to over 200 world experts in the field. The most recent DBS think tank took place in Orlando Florida on August 25th to 27th, 2021. The meeting addressed new research, technologies, and neuroethical issues in the field of neuromodulation.
Speakers are encouraged to present late-breaking unpublished research. Similarly, we would like to encourage other researchers and clinicians in the field to publish their research as part of this Research Topic dedicated to this rapidly evolving field. Contributions on the following themes are welcome:
• Emerging targets in DBS
• New methodologies for patient engagement
• Implications for neurodegenerative disease modeling and treatment
• Sensors and wearable technologies
• Cutting edge DBS and neuromodulation research papers
• Ethico-legal issues in neuromodulation and DBS
Discussions of DBS Think Tank are summarized in an annual proceeding that is considered a highly influential publication in the field. This Research Topic will include both the summary of the published proceedings, as well as new research contributions from attendees of the meeting.
Articles published after the DBS Think Tank meeting 2019 and 2020 were collected in the volume I, volume II and volume III:
Deep Brain Stimulation Think Tank: Updates in Neurotechnology and Neuromodulation Research Deep Brain Stimulation Think Tank: Updates in Neurotechnology and Neuromodulation, Volume II Deep Brain Stimulation Think Tank: Updates in Neurotechnology and Neuromodulation, Volume III Current meeting and past proceedings are available at
