OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Recent evidence from depth recordings in patients suggests that beta synchrony across neural populations occurs in bursts, and specific characteristics of these bursts determine whether they promote or impede motor processing. This has a direct bearing on how best to deliver deep brain stimulation. Hitherto this has been delivered continuously, but the indiscriminate suppression of both good and bad beta activity has restricted the therapeutic window. This can be rectified by more selective stimulation.
