    This document discusses recent advances in the treatment of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It mentions that a new technique involves implanting a device in the brain that detects brain signals and sends them to a pacemaker-like device, allowing patients to communicate again. While this technique allows patients to communicate, it does have drawbacks such as potential pain or infection from the surgery. Overall, the document provides a high-level overview of a new experimental brain implant treatment that may help ALS patients regain some communication abilities.
