    Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease, but finding optimal stimulation parameters is complex.

  • 2

    Electrophysiological features and machine learning can predict therapeutic windows for DBS, improving contact selection.

  • 3

    The study utilized STN power and STN-cortex coherence to enhance predictions of therapeutic windows in DBS.

  • 4

    The model demonstrated significant predictive ability in both original and independent cohorts, indicating its robustness.

  • 5

    Automated contact selection using electrophysiological markers could streamline DBS programming and enhance patient outcomes.
