What if DBS played the same?

“Using computer simulations, Tass and his team discovered that a patterned stimulus that vibrates at a frequency of 100 to 300 hertz (cycles per second) can desynchronize neuron-firing.”

I think **desynchronized** may be a poor choice of a word – (Calming the) neuron-firing might be better. Now what if DBS played the same patterned stimulus, two hours, twice a day?

Have you found anyone willing to adjust your dbs? I would try the output with my dbs.

I haven't had DBS surgery yet. As I understand DBS only uses a single pulse at a set frequency. And, not a patterned stimulus as this device.
