like curing epilepsy.

like we're doing with epilepsy.

Epilepsy can best be treated by responsive electrical stimulation.

There are drugs that treat epilepsy, but these don't always work.

Consider, for example, a condition like epilepsy, where the brain is overactive.

I had two grand mal seizures and I was diagnosed with epilepsy.

So epilepsy patients sometimes need the electrical activity in their brain monitoring.

If that's the source of the epilepsy, we can attack that as well.

For example, I asked the epilepsy people what are they using for informed consent.

And these are some of the cells that might be overactive in disorders such as epilepsy.

Well, if we're going to do it for epilepsy, why the hell not try it for something else?

That concludes my discussion of epilepsy, which is the third invention that I want to discuss here this afternoon.

Epilepsy is a disease in which a faulty part of the brain starts working spontaneously for no apparent reason.

Would you believe, 12 pages, single space, the patient has to read before they're in our trial to cure their epilepsy?

The diagnosis of M.E. is really in a place where something like epilepsy or multiple sclerosis was a hundred to even thirty years ago.

The first wish is to use the epilepsy responsive neurostimulator, called RNS, for Responsive NeuroStimulator that's a brilliant acronym for the treatment of other brain disorders.

But the implications of being able to control seizures or epilepsy with light instead of drugs, and being able to target those specifically is a first step.

There is also a rare thing called temporal lobe epilepsy, and sometimes, if one has this, one may feel oneself transported back to a time and place in the past.

Form a company to develop a neuro pacemaker for epilepsy, as well as other diseases of the brain, because all diseases of the brain are a result of some electrical malfunction in it, that causes many, if not all, of brain disorders.

And then with four screws, we put in a frame, then we snap in the device and we run with wires the one shown in green will go to the surface of the brain with electrodes, to the epileptic focus, the origin of the epilepsy, where we can sense the electrical signal and have computer analysis that tells us when to hit it with some electrical current to prevent the clinical manifestation of the seizure.

It can detect and terminate seizures before the clinical symptoms occur, provide stimulation only when needed, can be turned off if seizures disappear it has minimal side effects as a matter of fact, in all our clinical trials to date, we've seen no side effects in the 40 or so patients in whom it's been implanted and it's invisible, cosmetically hidden, so, if you have epilepsy and you have the device, no one will know it because you can't tell that it's there.
