DBS - what if, stimulation was a symphony

DBS - What if they played a symphony (Say HFS of 140 Hz and LFS of 70 Hz at the same time), A tone Generator playing at 140 Hz and a second playing at 70 doesn't sound bad, And, for fun a 3rd at 35 (turn volume of 35 Hz down to 18%). But, I am not sure I would want in my head 24/7 !!!!! Back when I was playing with 40 Hz, I brought some LED lights. Opened the box and have a light show too... Must remember dreams caused by 40 Hz.

Do you have any idea of frequency of pulses? I finally worded a Google search to get an answer: The frequency of DBS is often categorized as high frequency (i.e., HFS, >100 Hz, mostly 130 or 150 Hz) or low frequency (i.e., LFS, <100 Hz, mostly 60 or 80 Hz)1. These two categories have varied therapeutic effects on motor function in those with PD. {I am shocked that 60 Hz is used – I would have thought we would get more than enough of that from the power-grid} ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...
