Unlike other methods of neurostimulation, respon-sive neurostimulation (RNS) does not deliver electri-cal stimulation at specific frequencies throughout the
day. Instead, the RNS device is composed of a com-bined recorder and stimulator device, which detects
clinically relevant epileptiform discharges and deliv-ers an appropriate electrical stimuli in response.
