Examination of group analysis approaches in the DBS domain.

Main Results:

Group analysis in DBS is a complex, multi-level problem where parameter selection significantly impacts outcomes.
Clinically relevant DBS information requires patient-specific EF simulations, tractography, and brain atlases.
Advanced and intuitive visualization of complex analysis results is an emerging trend for clinical application.

Conclusions:

Accurate DBS analysis hinges on maximizing patient-specific data integration.
Enhanced visualization tools are needed for translating complex DBS data into clinical practice.
Future DBS research should prioritize patient-specific modeling and sophisticated data analysis techniques.
