A brain implant designed for people with head injuries has proven so successful during trials that participants refused to turn the device off. The deep brain stimulation implant, created by researchers at Stanford University to help people with head injuries to function again, attempts to boost activity between the regions of the brain in charge of memory, thinking, problem solving and consciousness learning. Five people with head injuries reported they were able to concentrate, remember, drive and get through the day without needing to nap as a result of using the device during the trial.
