My daughter has DBS for severe Tourette's. Her quality of life before the implant was horrible -- frequent 110 dB+ screams and self-injury. The implant has reduced her tic frequency and intensity by easily 95%. It's not only given her her life back but also the lives of her family members.

The potential of brain interface technology is truly incredible -- both for good and ill.



I don't know if Congratulations is the right word to use, but it conveys how I feel about what you said.


Thank you, that works! :)
