Where do you get that done?
I've only seen one, in these parts, as part of physiotherapy. They seemed pretty excited about having one, I think it was fairly new for them.
It was around the time there was a bit of a flurry about deep brain stimulation on these boards, I think.
I remember thinking... Recording electrode, check. Electrode for theraputic purposes (acupuncture), check. Hmm... I wonder if physiotherapists can insert electrodes, uh, acupuncture needles into the brain for theraputic effect... As in deep brain stimulation. Or as in just brain stimulation. Getting people with parkinson's moving, or whatever.
I don't know the answer to that.
When I was in Australia there was some physicist who was looking for volunteers for his brain magnet. He thought interrupting the frontal lobes (I think it was frontal lobes) unleashed creativity. Not sure how hard it was for him to find volunteers... Not sure what he meant by creativity, even. Hand drawing, or something.
