About
Barbara Kelly Changizi is a leading voice in the evolution of neuromodulation, with her work centered on the cutting-edge intersection of deep brain stimulation (DBS) technology and clinical application. Her most impactful contribution is a seminal 2021 review that maps the "New Frontiers for Deep Brain Stimulation," a highly cited work (41 citations) that has become a foundational reference for the field. In this piece, she systematically catalogs the paradigm-shifting innovations reshaping DBS: from directional leads and sensing technologies that enable precise, closed-loop therapy, to remote programming and robotic stereotactic assistance that increase patient access and procedural safety. By synthesizing these advances—including asleep procedures and connectomics—Changizi provides a critical roadmap for how DBS is expanding beyond movement disorders into epilepsy and psychiatry. Her ability to distill complex technological progress into a clear, forward-looking narrative has made her a key interpreter of the field’s rapid evolution, helping to guide both researchers and clinicians toward the next generation of personalized, data-driven brain stimulation therapies.
