I wouldn't get my hopes up for this approach: 1- the referenced article seems very PR-ish to me, 2- Punch news is published in Nigeria (home of many past scams) and 3- a quick scan of google-search results shows that everyone else is using the same words to describe it, as if they were cherry picking key phrases from the same article(s). So, I'd be very patient with this one. About using existing DBS hardware for this, I'd give it a wholehearted "maybe". There is some mention of using the wand in conjunction with currents in the brain. Perhaps these currents could be generated by the DBS stimulator? It's a stretch, especially since med device companies make more money each time they reinvent the wheel (pardon my cynicism).
