" ... In fact, these two neurologists had examined her several times prior to and after her pilgrimage. They found a near complete elimination of dystonia and chorea (involuntary movement) as well as a 40% improvement using a standardized score 1 week and 3 months later, even though there was no genetic cure whatsoever (1). In short, symptom alleviation, not cure. They concluded that this patient's intense religious conviction mediated its placebo effect on the intensity of some of her movement disorder symptoms by influencing and reducing her anxiety, which is known to increase these symptoms. ...

" ... That’s reading; now, let’s talk about writing to the brain. Neurostimulation – using technology to directly stimulate the brain, usually with small electrical currents – is the most clinically-successful form of brain-machine interface, although the state of the art relies more on disrupting pathological activity than truly writing information into the brain. Deep brain stimulation, or DBS, has been commonly used in clinical practice for twenty years now, first for essential tremor, shortly thereafter for Parkinson’s disease, and occasionally for other movement disorders like dystonia. DBS requires accurately targeting and implanting a row of platinum-iridium electrodes into a deep brain structure, usually the subthalamic nucleus, and connecting these to an implantable pulse generator placed near the collarbone. It has become the state-of-the-art treatment for Parkinson’s disease and is capable of substantially delaying the progress of symptoms, even after medications are no longer effective. The electrical pulses delivered by the neurostimulator disrupt the abnormal activity that characterizes the disease, restoring normal movement. ... "
" ... The idea is — after FDA approval (obtained long ago for other types of deep intra-cerebral devices such as those mentioned above) — to begin trials to treat various types of brain or spinal disorders such as paralysis, Parkinson’s, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, epilepsy, etc. From there, we could move forward to obtain more and more information about the possible application of this technology as a brain-machine interface (BMI or BCI), and its eventual voluntary use by anyone. You might be shocked that anybody would voluntarily submit to such trials, but remember that the implantation procedure should not require complex surgery or even a general anesthetic, and according to some of the participants featured in the presentation, is similar to a laser myopia operation, a procedure after which patients go home within a few hours. ...
