Another brick in the wall 3.0.6

Make mine soup, please.
Using pulses of electric current, a team of doctors reportedly restored some of a brain-damaged man's speech and movement. . . . The team of neuroscientists was able to treat a 38 year-old assault victim who had barely been conscious for a period of six years. Using the treatment, he was gradually able to use his left arm and was able to utter coherent words for the first time since the injury. . . .
Doctors implanted two wire electrodes deep into the man's brain, according to a New York Times report, in a process that is called deep brain stimulation. It has frequently been used to treat people suffering from Parkinson's disease.
