I have the brain stimulator and it's true name is the Responsive NeuroStimulator (RNS). I've been in the research studdy since Christmas eve of 2006. As for me I have the petit mal seizures and after the staring spell I'm just TOTALLY confused. But I never remember a thing not even during the confusion. Being TOTALLY confused is just how my neuro, nd family and friends have told me that I've acted. But ever since the recent reprograming of the RNS. Now half the time I can totally remember the confusion I go through. If you want I can tell you what I was thinking during the confusion a few months ago, and a few last year. So it looks like if the doctor can get the right programing in to the computer chip. My seizures will be controlled, and mine are from severe blunt force trauma to the head in a war.
Sincerely

This sounds really good. Especially for those considering surgery that are not good candidates. Even better than the VNS because it does it automatically. Therefor it can be used with both types of seizures. Hopefully it will be successful.
