520 Electric Mind is a cutting-edge documentary that takes us
to hospitals, research centers and clinics where
groundbreaking research is being done on the electricity
of brain function as a treatment for depression, bipolar
disorder, epilepsy and dystonia.Through the experiences of
several patients being treated with deep brain stimulation
(DPS), electrocardiac treatment (ECT) and transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS), Electric Mind follows the
progress of a young girl with epilepsy who is finally able
to lead a normal life with her preteen friends -- and
without the threat of seizures. We see a mid-career
photographer, felled by intense depression, who seems to
have been lifted out of its paralyzing effects by a series
of deep brain stimulations. Lastly, we're introduced to an
elderly woman who finally responds to treatment after
enduring many months of inertia during which she could not
respond to stimulus or remember any recent
history.Renowned neurologists, psychiatrists and surgeons
discuss questions of medical ethics, the brain-body, brain
-mind interactions and issues of personal identity. The
prospect of manipulating our minds and behavior with
machines has captured human imagination for decades. Now
recent advances bring the promise of relief to many
suffering from brain disorders.
