Quite interesting.

I love stuff like this, the brain is a fascinating thing.

It's nice to see that although they aren't curing Parkinson's, at least there are advances being made in its treatment.

I have owned a few basses over the years that made me think about booking myself in for brain surgery , but I usually just opted for a setup and a new set strings .

...and for the bass, you do what..?

[Mr. Foxen]

That's not strumming. Cuh, he even says he's a finger picker.

A guitarist with a brain, well, who would have thought that. [size=4] [/size]

Parkinson's is horrible; my dad had it. I wish the patient well.

But I still expected a voice saying "So, Doctor, will I be able to play after my operation?" ...

Also, I'm pleased it was the patient playing. It could have been the surgeon.
