Abstract
Two probe antennas for controllable focused radiation has been proposed for improving the performance of the existing electrodes approach used for DBS. The preliminary results show that the main beam of the antenna can scan from 0° to 81°. We provided some basic results of the antennas, obviously, there are a few areas waiting for further modification: 1) Include the brain in the model, 2) reduce to single main beam, and 3) extend the range of scanning angle to 0° to 90°.
