Wow! Coming home very energized after a great International #Neuroethics Society meeting; I’ve attended many and this was the most engaging. Truly international, cutting-edge and transdisciplinary perspectives on urgent topics such as neuroenhancement regulation, community engagement, “#neurorights,” and the brain disease model of chronic pain. https://www.neuroethicssociety.org/2024-annual-meeting-schedule

Happy to share our #NewPaper on experiences of patients undergoing #epilepsy surgery, comparing traditional resective surgery to #NeuroPace responsive neurostimulation, using interviews and ethnographic observation of patient visits. First, we documented circuitous treatment paths described by patients and caregivers as "winding," "confusing," and "chaotic." In two of our participants, continual ECoG recordings from an implanted RNS device enabled the detection of a single seizure focus for subsequent resective surgery. Second, RNS was perceived with greater safety, viewing the act of "putting in" a device as reversible in contrast with the irreversibility of "taking out" brain tissue in a resection. Third, evaluation of postoperative course reflected different aims and expectations, with resection understood in "all-or-nothing" terms such that any post-operative seizure was perceived as a failure, while patient expectations in RNS were more incremental. #neuroethics #OpenAccess at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S152550502400088X
