ooo, i’m trying to keep up on Deep Brain Stimulation research (i want one for reasons. they aren’t doing what i want yet, but in about 5 years they should be there) and that sounds like related research

I’ll admit I’ve been out of the field for a couple years so my information is going to be outdated, but I believe the issue with using MHD for continuous stimulation is that it generates tiny amounts of power - enough to trickle-charge a pacemaker, but not enough to keep tickling the brainstem with the frequency needed in DBS.

huh, so you wouldn’t have to plug in and recharge your pace?

I think the idea was to provide a redundant method of charging in case you’re unable or forget to recharge it externally.

now that is a novel use of piezoelectricity. whoever thought of that needs many sloppy kisses from many cats
