Default programming

programming is the Archilles tendon of the DBS program. The Medtronic course for programing is 4 hours long. programming is an art as well as a scientific endeavor. There are more than a few programs that are unsucessful, not because of poor surgery but the lack of competent programming. We see alot of that in my group.
