Deep brain stimulation either by electrodes that go deep in the brain or by some like you're saying, some external device that focuses in your techniques. But for example, so I always say that augmentation is nowhere near where we're at, like 50 years, not going to happen. And there's maybe going to be other ways of doing this that are more non-invasive and more safe. So every technology, it creates many more opportunities than it does limit our options.
