  "summary": "Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease is associated with abnormal beta activity in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), but the temporal structure of burst dynamics remains poorly understood. Objectives: To determine whether temporal features of STN beta bursts distinguish pre-freeze from stable gait and predict freezing onset. Methods: STN recordings during gait from four…",
