Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Ability to record evoked neural responses (Evoked Compound Action Potentials). Sensitive stimulation and recording equipment will be used to record and display neural signals from the deep brain electrodes. With averaging (from 2 to 100 averages), any neural activity that is triggered by the stimulus (evoked responses) will become apparent in the average signal display. The primary outcome is to demonstrate that these evoked responses can be recorded in the operating room. [Intra-operative]
