Multitarget brain implants enable generalized decoding of Parkinson's disease symptoms from chronic home recordings.
Article in Research square, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) oèrs unprecedented precision in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Current aDBS control algorithms depend on brain signal biomarkers, such as basal ganglia oscillatory activity in the beta (8-30 Hz) range. Even after extensive optimization through a specialized medical team, about one third of patients may remain ineligible for aDBS due to insuìcient biomarker fidelity. Moreover, while the marker broadly correlates with disease severity, it does not recognize how specific symptoms independently fluctuate over time. A concept to address these shortcomings is to rely on machine learning based brain signal decoding. Here, we trained decoders on over 500 hours of invasive multisite recordings from cortex and deep brain targets to predict the wearable based estimates of PD symptoms and side-eècts without patient individual training. Recordings were streamed from brain implants while patients were at home on their usual antiparkinsonian treatment. The resulting models robustly outperformed individually defined beta activity, while providing three major conceptual advances: they performed even in patients without a basal ganglia beta rhythm, generalized across patients without requiring retraining or adaptation and robustly and dièrentially and simultaneously decoded the severity of bradykinesia, tremor and dyskinesia. In a proof-of-concept simulation, we demonstrate how these models could be used to steer stimulation fields dynamically to predefined symptomresponse brain networks. This fusion between adaptive and connectomic DBS may define when to stimulate which brain circuit for optimal symptom-specific control in real time and pave the way for a new generation of fully automatized symptom-specific neuromodulation approaches.
