Electrode contacts where a pleasant sensation could be evoked were mostly located in the anterior insula (AI, a total of six stimulation, right AI: n=3, left AI: n=3) and in the amygdala (five stimulation; right amygdala: n=4, left amygdala: n=1) […]. Overall, most EBS that evoked pleasant sensations were applied to the right cerebral hemisphere (n=9) whereas only four were applied to the left hemisphere. In two patients, (P( and P8), the same sensation could be elicited from two different brain structures, i.e., a feeling of well-being by EBS in the right temporal pole and the amygdala (P4) and a positive emotion and well-being by EBS in the AI and the amygdala (P8).
I do think direct electrical stimulation is probably not optimal, and would rather we expand rTMS and modulated ultrasound approaches to Brian stimulation before we go full invasive. (This is more directed at Dave92F1.)
Thanks for the references. See also Villard et al. 2022:
And some more rough notes on the topic here.
