Summary

The project uses virtual reality technology to recreate situations that cause freezing of gait in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Individuals who underwent deep brain stimulator (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease will walk through a virtual reality environment while brain signals are recorded from the DBS device. The goal is to better understand what occurs in the brain during freezing of gait.
