The guy behind the procedure is actually a pretty well respected neuroscientist. It's just that the only volunteer was some random russian guy dying from a degenerative illness.

But regardless, yes, I will be paying very close attention to the results of this.

Are you sure that the funding comes from outside Russia?

Don't know about the funding but the doctor is from Italy and is pretty well renowned.

Who in Italy is willing to spend 11 million dollar on something like this?
