I can adjust the range on my programmer/remote control which I guess is a similar type of thing. If I think I might benefit from being turned up a little I can turn my programmer up or if I think on too much esp after a visit to neuro when he turns me up and I feel a bit too on (you get to know which is which after a while) DBS pts can be given this option. It's not complete trust given to us as neuro often says 'i give you a range to adjust so that in other words i give you enough rope not to hang yourself with.' |

one of the goals of this research is to just use your thoughts to change the DBS settings, i thought it is science fiction but it isn't according to him. http://www.washington.edu/news/2015/...rain-activity/ |

When batteries aka neurostimulators are changed its not done on the brain. The electrodes which stimulate the brain in the area requiring stimulation have leads which run down to different body parts in my case subclavical area and is mostly done as day surgery. Also any DBS recipient can turn themselves on and off with their programming device if need be as in the case of say an electrocardiogram being done I switch myself off as it can cause electrical interference etc. |
