“people” = 3 people with treatment resistant epilepsy “nearly vanish” = 90% reduction. 10% is still a lot Interesting, but early.

Thanks for posting I have managed epilepsy so it’s good to see progress on treatments even if they aren’t directly applicable

The real breakthrough isn't just seizure reduction. It's demonstrating the feasibility of installing a new, externally controllable interface into human neural circuits.
