Perhaps the only advantage of being paralyzed is that these a surgically implanted direct brain interface is ethical. It's an invasive and risky surgery, but with rewards if the individual can then operate a prosthetic hand.
- sitkack 8y agoEpilepsy patients with in brain electrodes are a hot commodity. Maybe try being a postdoc or grad student in China?
- brennebeck 8y agoEven as an epileptic I am not aware how common this is? Though, it also seems primarily related to EEG capabilities rather than seizure-control. Edit: minor grammar/tense
- a-dub 8y agoAt the very least it is part of the standard treatment protocol for those who have surgical resection. (implant electrodes, remove drugs, wait for seizure, use recording to guide resection). Although it seems that the typical grids, strips and laminar electrodes that are good for research are disappearing in favor of stereo-eeg which is much less invasive.
