The responsive neurostimulation system, or RNS, is surgically placed within the skull and positions small wires into the area of the brain where the seizures begin. Continuously monitoring brain activity, the device delivers a small burst of electrical stimulation that can stop seizures before they begin, and reduce seizures over time. (Courtesy of Neuropace)

ROSA Brain is a surgical navigation and positioning system using robotic technology that allows surgeons to place electrodes, which detect seizures in the brain, without having to open a patient's skull or even shave a patient's head, as other traditional methods require.

Bryan Black, 34, uses a hand-held scanner to receive data from a device that monitors his brain activity. Black is the first patient in Oregon to undergo brain surgery with with an assist from a robot. The ROSA (Robotic Stereotactic Assistance) robot was utilized to place electrodes in Black's brain to treat epilepsy. (OHSU/Kristyna Wentz-Graff)
