Breakthroughs
Scientist has tried the chip implanting, but it failed to cure or even change anything. They then knew that they needed more research to configure how to program and make it work properly. They will have to upgrade the chip technology by 2 for it to even consider to work. They might even consider using nanotechnology. If the chip would be replaced by something else that is more efficient and might work.
The scientist could go through a breakthrough and go past a barrier leading to new technology that leads to elctrobots going to the human brain would be just astonishing. If they would have technology for Motor tics and Phonic tics with a simple shot. Motor tics usually are simple in nature, with fast, darting, and purposeless eye blinking or neck movements being the more common ones. Phonic tics are different they are more likely to be louder like one example is screaming uncontrollably. Sometimes Motor and Phonic Tics can be violent. Doctors could create the power to cure both by formatting them and researching them in the same way.
