Configuring a deep brain stimulation (dbs) system to treat a neurological disorder

A method for configuring a deep brain stimulation (DBS) system for a patient, the method comprising:

• instructing the patient to perform or attempt to perform at least one motor task;
• in response to the patient performing or attempting to perform the at least one motor task, receiving, by a system comprising a processor, electrophysiology data from a plurality of DBS electrodes implanted in at least one cerebellar pathway connecting to a brainstem, a diencephalon, or a cerebrum of the patient;
• based on the electrophysiology data, identifying, by the system, at least one of the plurality of electrodes implanted closest to a neuronal populations involved in control of the at least one motor task as potential stimulation electrodes;
• in response to the patient performing or attempting to perform the at least one motor task, receiving, by the system, electroencephalogram (EEG) data corresponding to at least one scalp EEG from a plurality of scalp electrodes;
• based on the EEG and/or DBS electrode data, selecting, by the system, at least one of the potential stimulation electrodes to deliver the DBS based on which of the potential stimulation electrodes provides a change in the EEG data and/or DBS electrode data;
• and
• determining, by the system, optimal parameters for the DBS by the at least one of the potential stimulation electrodes,
• wherein the optimal parameters for the DBS and the at least one of the potential stimulation electrode to deliver the DBS are output for guiding configuration of the DBS system for the patient.
