Artificial intelligence in deep brain stimulation for movement disorders: a systematic review and technology readiness assessment

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly explored across deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, yet whether current systems are approaching deployment remains unclear. To characterise their scope, validation maturity, and translational readiness, we systematically evaluated 239 peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2025, assessing AI methods, validation practices, and barriers constraining clinical translation. Research was dominated by Parkinson’s disease and subthalamic nucleu

Design and Actuation of a Multipole Ring Magnet for Navigating Endovascular Magnetic Instruments

This paper presents the design and analysis of a compact magnetic field generator for robotic navigation of magnetic endovascular instruments in clinical settings. The system features eight symmetrically arranged permanent magnets in a ring configuration, maximizing magnetic field uniformity and aperture size for X-ray transmission while minimizing spatial footprint and magnet motion for uninterrupted fluoroscopy imaging. The rationale behind the design of the system is explained through analytical consider

Theoretical and computational advances in quantum and hydrodynamic thermal transport

This thesis investigates the fundamental physics and computational modeling of quantum thermal transport in crystalline systems, focusing on regimes where established theoretical approaches face intrinsic limitations. Thermal transport, studied for decades, remains an active research area due to the shrinking size and increasing complexity of materials and devices, making microscopic and mesoscopic heat propagation both a theoretical challenge and a practical necessity. Central to this work is the study of

N° 2 Lighthouse Project 2e éd.

The Lighthouse Project proposes a house. Named a House it had to address inhabitation: for whom was defined by each student. Additionally the Lighthouse had to include a public function. Light was considered as an attractor and conductor of flows in the urban context and in relation with the activity of living. The public program acted as a pivotal part of the project, being the connecting part between city and habitation. The focus was set on the transitional aspects and spatial conditions between public a

Enhancing the control of tokamaks via a continuous nonlinear control law

Jean-Yves Favez

The control of the current, position and shape of an elongated cross-section tokamak plasma is complicated by the instability of the plasma vertical position. In this case the control becomes a significant problem when saturation of the power supplies is considered. Current saturation is relatively benign due to the integrating nature of the tokamak, resulting in a reasonable time horizon for strategically handling this problem. On the other hand, voltage saturation is produced by the feedback controller it

3D Modeling of Coupling Between Superconducting Filaments via Resistive Matrix in AC Magnetic Field

Bertrand Dutoit

The ac loss of superconducting composite depends strongly on coupling between superconducting filaments via the resistive matrix. The established technique for loss reduction using twisted filaments relies on the decoupling of the filaments below a critical coupling field Bc, which increases with the reduction of the twist pitch and the matrix conductivity. Although the concept of Bc may be clearly demonstrated using two infinite slabs of finite length, further details on its correlation with the filament/c
