Integrative Cognitive and Affective Modeling of Deep Brain Stimulation

摘要

In this paper a computational model of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder is presented. The considered therapy has as a goal to decrease the stress level of a stressed individual by using electrode which placed in a specific area in brain. Several areas in brain have been used to decrease the stress level, one of them is Amygdala. The presented temporal-causal network model aims at integrative modeling a Deep Brain Stimulation therapy where the relevant brain areas are modeled in a dynamic manner.
