Frontiers in Human Neuroscience February 25, 2020 George Lai, Jean-Philippe Langevin, Ralph J. Koek et al.
Accurate localization of complex human experiences such as emotions, dreaming, creativity, and consciousness to specific cerebral structures or neural networks has remained elusive despite technological advances. We report the use of acute deep brain stimulation (DBS) to evoke behavioral and emotional effects by applying electrical stimulation (ES) at various voltage strengths to the...
