Friends interested in tremor control;
Anyone can access IEEE Spectrum on-line if you have internet
capability......just go to this site:
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/newpass.html
and fill out their form to access Spectrum.

If you'd rather read the manufacturers postings go to:
http://medtronic.com/neuro/tremor/index.html
or go to:
http://www.medtronic.com/neuro/tremor/1benefit.html
or go to:
http://www.medtronic.com/neuro/tremor/1ask.html
and keep clicking on the NEXT to page through all their propaganda.

The device bears some similarity to a pacemaker and is for thalamic
stimulation.

I have no first hand knowledge, just what I've seen in the papers &
on the web.

Happy browsing..........Murray
