Challenges and limitations
While DBMIs hold significant promise in the treatment of addiction, there are several challenges and limitations to consider, including:
- Surgical risks: DBMI implantation involves surgical risks, such as infection, bleeding, and damage to surrounding brain tissue.
- Device durability: DBMI devices require regular maintenance and replacement, which can be a challenge.
- Signal interference: DBMI signals can be disrupted by external factors, such as electromagnetic interference or neural noise.
- Regulatory frameworks: DBMIs are still in the early stages of development, and regulatory frameworks are still evolving.
