HI. I haven't. But I do know an engineer who developed a robot for inserting probes for DBS. From what I heard, it's quite new technology and not exactly clear how it works and personally I'd be wary of something experimental with such significant side effect risks.

What does your doctor say? They'd be best placed for helping you weigh up the risks.
