Abstract

This systematic review is conducted to identify, compare, and analyze neurophysiological feature selection, extraction, and classification to provide a comprehensive reference on neurophysiology-based subthalamic nucleus (STN) localization.The review was carried out using the methods and guidelines of the Kitchenham systematic review and provides an in-depth analysis on methods proposed on STN localization discussed in the literature between 2000 and 2021. Three research questions were formulated, and 115 publications were identified to answer the questions.The three research questions formulated are answered using the literature found on the respective topics. This review discussed the technologies used in past research, and the performance of the state-of-the-art techniques is also reviewed.This systematic review provides a comprehensive reference on neurophysiology-based STN localization by reviewing the research questions other new researchers may also have.Copyright © 2023 International Neuromodulation Society.
