Sensing in Sleep and Deep Brain Stimulation
Participants in this study have Parkinson's Disease and already have a device, called the Percept RC Deep Brain Stimulation device implanted. People with Parkinson's disease often have issues related to sleep such as bad quality of sleep, waking up often and sleep apnea (breathing stops and starts during sleep). For this study, participants will be sleeping overnight in the study sleep lab for two nights. One night, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) device turned on and one night with the DBS off, either in this order or the reverse.
