Right now, I don't think there is any clinical data released (or even existing?) with the Neuralink system. Neuralink is a newcomer to the field. It might be better to update your question to ask about DBS and depression, or more generally, brain stimulation and depression.

@BryanKrause If the mechanism will be the same or similar as Neuralink it may be the answer. I'm interested especially about the mechanism, if it is somewhere described.

@BryanKrause I agree with xralf. That would provide a suitable answer. As to the specific system, pointing out there are no studies can be part of that answer. If studies ever show up, a new answer can be posted.
