Adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) provides individualized therapy for people with Parkinson's disease (PWP) by adjusting the stimulation in real-time using neural signals that reflect their motor state. Current algorithms, however, utilize condensed and manually selected neural features which may result in a less robust and biased therapy. In this study, we propose Neural-to-Gait Neural network (N2GNet), a novel deep learning-based regression model capable of tracking real-time gait performance from subthalamic nucleus local field potentials (STN LFPs). The LFP data were acquired when eighteen PWP performed stepping in place, and the ground reaction forces were measured to track their weight shifts representing gait performance. By exhibiting a stronger correlation with weight shifts compared to the higher-correlation beta power from the two leads and outperforming other evaluated model designs, N2GNet effectively leverages a comprehensive frequency band, not limited to the beta range, to track gait performance solely from STN LFPs.
