A tiny brain implant and a baseball cap might be the future of treating depression.
Motif brain implant with cap

Nearly 3 million Americans suffer from treatment-resistant depression, meaning antidepressants simply don't work for them. Motif Neurotech wants to change that with a tiny brain implant, and the FDA has just greenlighted a human trial to test it.

As reported by Wired, the Houston-based startup has developed a tiny device that sits in the skull, just above the brain's protective membrane. It targets the part of the brain responsible for high-level thinking that tends to go quiet in people with major depressive disorder. The implant delivers precise electrical pulses to wake that network back up.

As seen in the pictures, the Galaxy Glasses have a familiar, rounded sunglasses-style look that’s strikingly similar to the Meta Ray-Bans, which have been on the market for a couple of years now. The “Samsung” branding is there on one of the temple arms, but beyond that, there’s hardly a unique design element that tells them apart.
