The issue focused on what one study found is a problem in research studies: researchers do not report their finding. In other words, these studies are data science experiments. If scientists want to see if new medical technologies can help people with severe neurodegenerative diseases, they may need to start creating those studies.

Perez and his team think that some better technology will be needed. For example, instead of running massive scientific studies, researchers could make use of bigger laboratory robots. These smaller robots would give
