- Cyberonics' VNS approval for Treatment Resistant Depression (first foray of neurodevices into psychiatric illness)
- Rechargeable SCS Onslaught (SCS = spinal cord stimulation)
- Medtronic buying binge - Transneuronix and IGN
- Boston Scientific - Aspect Medical deal (Aspect has a brain state analyzer to help understand what set of part of the patient population might respond to different types of treatments)
- ANSI DBS Entry
- Otto Bock purchase of NeuroDan
- FDA Approvals (Cyberonics VNS for TRD), Medtronic Activa HUD for OCD, Medtronic ONSTIM IDE for ONS (Occipital Nerve Stimulation for Migraine), BSC/Medtronic/ANSI Rechargeable SCS
