For example Ian Olsen, who suffers from epilepsy since 11 years old, says about RNS System this: ''After dealing with seizures for 16 years, I feel like I have now defeated my seizures once and for all. The RNS system is helping more and more people with epilepsy – and everyone battling seizures should know about it.''<ref name="NeuroPace_stories">NeuroPace. Ian’s Story. NeuroPace, Inc.

Now is also especially necessary to establish exactly which role the RNS System will play in treatment of epilepsy. In fact, the RNS System is still at the beginning and it is perceived more like alternative to AED (antiepileptic drug) or surgery. <ref name="AES_ResponsiveNeurostimulation_and_Cognition"/> There remains a question how will look like the RNS System in the future. Frank Fischer note that:
''It’s totally logical to me that any neurological condition that results in changes in brain state, where the brain state, by monitoring the brain state that can be determined and then treated by virtue of the delivery of stimulation, may well be able to be treated by virtue of this technology.''<ref name="NeuroPace: Controlling Epilepsy With a Brain Implant"/>
