Deep brain stimulation. Not just for highly trained neurosurgeons anymore. Try it yourself! Game and photos (“very graphic!”) (via MindHacks.)
I added this link to my trepanning folder. Thanks.

I now feel fully confident that I could perform brain surgery while drinking.

I really enjoyed this website! Thanks for posting the link Faze. Went through a small brain surgery in 2006, just this time of year. In a way using the website, going through the steps, helped me feel less fear in retrospect.
A dear friend is having knee replacement surgery the day after tomorrow. Will go through the website surgery steps for that too because I want to know what the surgery is like and also to feel less afraid of it.
It's a nicely done site. Amazing the things one learns on the blue.

I met a guy about 10 years ago who had one of the implants to control his Parkinson's. He had a remote control to turn it on and off. It was amazing. He couldn't hold a cup of coffee without spilling or draw a circle or a straight line on paper, then he switched it on, and all of his tremors went away. It was amazing. If it was that good 10 years ago, I can't even imagine how awesome it is now.
