It would be interesting if it actually works. It's really promising, but it still seems like it's something that will be cool when it happens at some point in the future, rather than something that is happening now.
i mean it worked in my dad. he was part of a trial to install DBS on moderate parkinson's patients rather than waiting until the patients had severe parkinson's. Short story, gave him ten extra years he could work. A bit longer and more details, he was able to manage nearly all of his dyskinesia through the implant rather than via medication (some kind of levi/carbidopa). It was a really neat device, the MDs who put it in were the best at what they do (and, as a professional patient I've gotten good at evaluating that) and provided us with all the support we needed up until dad died. So our experience was nothing but positive. I think the charger is in the garage and I can dig it up tomorrow to find out what company built his computer if you want.
