It's interesting that stimulating a part of the brain produces unconsciousness, rather than deactivating it (if this is even possible). I dont' know enough neurology to answer, but is claustrum somehow involved in the mechanism of sleep?
Because what we have here could be a partial sleep induction.
The article noted it was high frequency stimulus that had the effect, and seemed to be disrupting normal function.
The article also says the patient was awake.
