One is to install a stereotactic headframe. The stereotactic head frame helps neurosurgeons determine where to put the electrodes. Local anesthesia is used in this process, except for mild pressure, there is generally no obvious discomfort.

Second: fixed headstock. CT or MRI examination. The position of orientation frame is checked by holographic navigation, and the internal structure information is revealed by image acquisition.

Third: simulation positioning anatomy. Doctors import the collected information into the computer workstation, and use the advanced operation planning system to get the three-dimensional coordinates of the deep brain target. Implanted electrodes. After locating the stimulation site according to the previous location, put the electrode into the brain. The damage to this process is minimal, and because the brain itself doesn't feel pain, it doesn't feel pain.
