What an abysmal waste of resources that could have gone to actual serious tinnitus research. What pisses me off is the fact that this is being passed off as "revolutionary" except it's the same crap we've been doing for the past forever. Literally it contributes absolutely no new insight to even habituation research (which is a damn low bar). It's a shame the tinnitus community will probably eat it up, but any other medical community would either ignore it or attack it. This is now what we should want. Raise the bar a bit.
When we get a treatment soon, none of this research will be useful, because treatment based approaches will come to completely dominate the tinnitus market. No matter what this is just wasted money.
Good Cartoons, and good tinnitus cures I hope.
That's extremely unlikely because pretty much every medical condition will eventually be cured. It's a matter of time. However tinnitus has so much research going for it, and has for a while. Now we've hit the stage where we're seeing results. I think the question now isn't "will neuromod work?", but "how well will it work?".
What are you basing this on besides wishful thinking?
I am sure it will work for a fraction of the people. This fraction might be 5% (while it makes 3% of the people who try it much worse).
T also has to do with the human brain - the most complex object in the known universe.
Why do you think that anything not cured in 15 years will never be cured? Aside from unwishful thinking.
Read any newspaper printed after 2015, and you will have your answer. We don't live in a free country, so I can't elaborate.
The only way to prove the above would be to cure tinnitus. As long as there is no cure, all we can say is that we think we might know something about how it works, but for all we know the true tinnitus mechanism might be completely different.
Well we can't cure it. We know how but we don't have the technology. The best we can do is manipulate the tinnitus mechanism to eliminate tinnitus temporarily. Which we can reliably do in a medical environment.
WHO'S WE? Humanity?
You can also ponder what has been happening to your standard of living and why, and what you think will be happening to it in the future.
I wish I could but everytime I do apparently it's "desecrating a corpse".
The chances are extremely heavily in favor of us being able to have total control of the human genome so... Yeah.
