title: Visualization for Understanding Uncertainty in Activation Volumes for Deep Brain Stimulation.
abstract: We have created the Neurostimulation Uncertainty Viewer (nuView or νView) tool for exploring data arising from deep brain stimulation (DBS). Simulated volume of tissue activated (VTA), using clinical electrode placements, are recorded along with patient outcomes in the Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS). The data is volumetric and sparse, with multi-value patient results for each activated voxel in the simulation. νView provides a collection of visual methods to explore the activated tissue to enhance understanding of electrode usage for improved therapy with DBS.
