The RNS Neurostimulator monitors electrical activity in the brain via the implanted patient leads and delivers therapy in the form of electrical stimulation, when the seizures begin.

The RNS System is medical device to treat epilepsy. It is not designed for enhancing human capabilities, although it was demonstrated, that the RNS System has no adverse cognitive effect in epileptics. <ref name="BusinessWirePositiveEffects">NeuroPace RNS® System Associated with Positive Effects In Memory and Language for People Living with Partial Onset Epilepsy.
