Steve -
No, this device is to fake the brain into not recognizing pain signals--in
my case, lower back pain. It sends a very low-level current to a primary
spinal nerve and the brain then "sees" this as something similar to the
sensation you have when your leg goes to sleep--a sort of tingling. From a
techno-geek point of view, it's actually kinda interesting.
After I posted my question here, it occurred to me to call ARRL. I talked to
their RFI guru in the lab and he knew, of course, about pacemakers, but said
that he'd never heard of any experiences at all with neural stimulators.

Not specifically, Walt. Are those the things they implant for cochleal
hearing enhancement?
I do know that some folks with pacemakers can't be around high RF as that
tends to shut down the pacemaker; not real good for maintaining
consciousness.
