I predicted when I saw this that the therapy was being carried out over a long period of time, and that it could therefore easily have been a coincidence that he was doing the therapy at the time. low and behold, I read the article and what do I find? He started to wake up after the 15TH SESSION.
So, I tested my theory and it passes occums razer (all it assumes is that some people wake up from commas on their own). I have now applied more scientific reasoning than whoever wrote this article.
CORELLATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION!!!!!!!!!
also, read this snippet
"After the 30 planned sessions the TMS was stopped. Without it, Villa became very tired and his condition declined a little, but he was still much better than before. Six weeks later he was given another 10 sessions, but there were no further improvements and he was sent home, where he remains today."
again, the first part is pretty plausible coincidence (if it is even true) and the second show a non-effect of the therapy. Why would it cease to help when it was before they stopped treatment? even better, WHY WOULD IT WORK AT ALL?
Now, if they did a clinical trial, then we might start to get some real evidence.

Could you cope any better with Music for Elevators by Anthony S Head though?
Did he just make that reference? someone else remembers that album!? Its been a while, but that had a few good songs on it if I remember correctly.
