**Implanted electrodes attract glia which adhere to the electrodes and make a local inflammatory response that increases impedance and reduces data quality.

**20 years ago he licensed some PK/PD software to GE but no one bought it. A Norwegian company tried the same thing, also without success. He is now trying to get it integrated into EPIC. Is it just a marketing problem that no one wants to buy it? They've shown that it changes how people deliver anesthesia (typically they use less, specifically opioid).
