Abstract
PURPOSE: Micro-electrode recordings (MERs) are a key intra-operative modality used during deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode implantation, which allow for a trained neurophysiologist to infer the anatomy in which the electrode is placed. As DBS targets are small, such inference is necessary to confirm that the electrode is correctly positioned. Recently, machine learning techniques have been used to augment the neurophysiologist's capability. The goal of this paper is to investigate the generalisability of these methods with respect to different clinical centres and training paradigms.
