I think rebooting is a fair metaphor for ECT since it induces a generalized seizure. But neuromodulation acts to mildly strengthen or weaken existing synapses

I think rebooting is a fair metaphor for ECT since it induces a generalized seizure.
But neuromodulation acts to mildly strengthen or weaken existing synapses within a brain region or circuit. The patient is awake and usually watching TV or something during the procedure. So I wouldn’t call that akin rebooting.
