The objective of this project is to evaluate next generation visualization tools and surgical targeting models for clinical deep brain stimulation (DBS). This study will evaluate the performance of HoloDBS software in comparison to the current standard (SOC) clinical planning tools to prepare for DBS surgery. The investigators hypothesize that HoloDBS will provide more detailed and anatomically useful information to the neurosurgeon and neurologist than the current clinical standard. The study team reviews electronic medical records (EMR) from patients who are undergoing DBS surgery. There are no study visits involved in this study as only data from standard clinical care will be used. All study activities are executed by the study team and there are no interventions.

Difference between the actual post-operative location of the DBS electrode and the planned location.
Comparison of the post-operative position of the DBS electrode to the location that was defined in the standard-of-care plan and the HoloDBS plan.
Time frame: 1 month after surgery
Number of physicians who reply 'yes' to the question, 'Was the additional data available in the HoloDBS application valuable in defining your theoretical optimal electrode position?'
Open ended discussion with neurosurgery-neurology team
Time frame: 6 months and 1 year after study starts
