🧵Imagine electrotherapy without electronic devices. No charging. No programming. Not even a start button. Rather: electrotherapy as a band-aid. We develop a disposable patch, delivering a prescribed singe dose, with no electronics. How it works 👇 https://t.co/HkT7Hm9irZ

Part 1 explains the invention of SCS technology and its first validation in patients, along with Dr. Mortimer's general views on what drives innovation in neurotechnology, what drives engineers to solve problems, and the large role serendipity. Part 2 (coming soon).

Dr. J Thomas Mortimer the co-inventor of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) for pain. "The Inside History of SCS: Part 1" is the first of a two part interview series. The second part being "The Inside History of SCS: Part 2" with Dr. Elliot Krames.

Are (neuromodulation) inventions really just the result of luck? Dr. Mortimer's experiences tell a deeper and inspiring story. What do you think?

My interview of the great Dr. Thomas Mortimer. Throughout the interview Dr. Mortimer kept returning to the role of *serendipity* in his success in co-inventing Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) for pain, phrenic nerve stimulation for breathing, etc. https://t.co/B5S7dnuJrI.

You can watch the video or I'll just tell you the answers now. 1. Non-invasive, (multi) target, minimal risk, and arbitrary waveform (DC, sinusoidal, any pulses) 2. No. 3. Yep.

2. Are more invasive & risky technologies necessarily more effective 3. Could a non-invasive focal and low-intensity technique be a potent neuro-modulator?

1. There are many advanced & compelling brain stimulation (neuromodulation) technologies. What are the special capabilities of HD-tES - including HD-tDCS and HD-tACS - that many it uniquely compelling for human neuroscience research and treatments?
