National researchers of electrical and computer engineering department of the College of Engineering, University of Tehran, supported by the Cognitive and Technologies Council, initiated the preliminary studies for the research proposal on noninvasive deep brain stimulation.

Dr. Mahmoud Shahabadi, A Faculty Member at University of Tehran, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering said: “the main aim of this research project which has initiated with the support of the Cognitive and Technologies Council, is to study the methods of DBS using the focused electrical and magnetic fields from outside of the brain without the need for surgery in order to prevent the surgery side effects.”

As stated by him, according to the preliminary studies of this proposal, by time interference as a result of the electrical signal and an electrical local focused field on deep areas of brain, we can stimulate local neural cells noninvasively without stimulation of other parts of the brain.

He also added: “this method of DBS has been investigated both in vitro and in vivo on live rats at some of the world’s leading research institutes and the results almost verified the successful function of the focal brain deep stimulation.”
