The neurological condition epilepsy is focused upon and the future use of bio-electric implants as a preventative treatment. 

Deep Mind resources

This resource allows students to explore advances that neural technology can offer to healthcare, focusing upon epilepsy. The 30 minute Deep Mind film acts as a starting point to the activities that follow. These include role play considering the ethics involved in the use of optogenetics (gene therapy with bio-...
