I have done research in the computational healthcare field to try to optimize and make the placement of electrodes easier for surgeons by analyzing spike neuron activity that were recorded during an actual surgery that had place.
The electrodes in DBS by purpose continuously release electric pulses at target locations in the brain. ECT, from my understanding is a short full brain excitation using electric pulses. The location of where the electrodes are places on the outside of the head change what part of the brain is targeted.
This research is a middle ground where they are using the same technology to send short "six second" impulses to a very targeted part of the brain.
I don't agree that this is entirely different from ECT.
