 as become a standard of care therapy for movement disorders\, particularly
  Parkinson’s disease\, essential tremor and dystonia\, and is being invest
 igated in psychiatric and cognitive disorders. To date\, more than 244 000
  individuals have been implanted with DBS worldwide. During DBS surgery\, 
 electrodes are inserted into precise brain structures\, usually part of th
 e underlying aberrant circuit. The therapeutic effects achieved with DBS h
 inge upon selective stimulation of the intended structure through accurate
  and precise delivery of the stimulation—maximizing therapeutic benefits w
 hile minimizing spillover onto neighbouring structures that may produce ad
 verse effects. Recent neuroimaging data have shown that the therapeutic ef
 fect of DBS may be better understood as a network effect. Thanks to recent
  advances in MRI safety\, fMRI can now be used to probe the consequences o
 f stimulation on brain networks. Specifically\, it can be used to predict 
 optimal DBS stimulation parameters\, which could represent an objective bi
 omarker of clinical response. This could streamline the current empirical 
 process of individually titrating the stimulation\, which is cumbersome fo
 r patients and costly for the healthcare system. This may represent a step
  towards the possibility of autonomous\, closed-loop functional imaging-as
 sisted DBS programming.\n
