Rationale: Chronic intracranial neurostimulation modalities require programming of stimulation frequency, amplitude, pulse width, and duration per method of stimulation. Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) and anterior thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS-ANT) are both FDA-approved invasive brain stimulation approaches for the treatment of medication-resistant focal epilepsy. For RNS and DBS-ANT, frequency of stimulation (Fq) is typically ≥100Hz, which is consistent with data from pivotal trials1,2, and here termed high frequency stimulation (HFS). Lower stimulation frequencies (< 100Hz) have been used in epilepsy for DBS of centromedian thalamus and cerebellum as well as cortical stimulation of hippocampus and/or other cortical areas in chronic subthreshold stimulation (CSS)
