First brain implant to treat depression is REVEALED: Penny-sized 'digital pill' that sits under the skin and releases tiny electrical pulses starts human trials


Inner Cosmos shared the first look at its brain implant that treats depression

The 'digital pill' is designed in two parts: An electrode that sits under the skin and the 'pod' that snaps onto the users' hair to power the device

The pod powers the penny-sized implant, which sends tiny electrical pulses to the brain region affected by depression - treatment is once a day for 15 minutes

Inner Cosmos has implanted its device in a human patient and plans to start a second human trial next month
