He said that he planned to test
the effectiveness of two different
methods - one involving the use
of electrodes attached to portions
of the brain and the other involv-
ing the use of a drug used for pro-
strate disease.
"I only wanted to compare the
two treatment modalities," Rodin
said.
He said his treatment also could
be used on epileptics to help give
them "normal lives."
Other patients had been con-
sidered for the treatment, he
added.
