Deep brain stimulation has worked for many patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders that have not responded to other treatments. However, its use as a therapy for psychiatric disorders, while promising, is not yet proven.

Brain machine interfaces (BMIs) is a field that holds out the hope of allowing severely paralyzed people to communicate with the world, move their limbs, and even walk.
Of course, making that happen is far from simple. Nevertheless, researchers are working to develop solutions to the many practical problems that have prevented the idea from becoming a clinical reality.
