Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neurostimulation technique where a low direct current is applied to the scalp through electrodes placed over a targeted area. Powered by a small battery, tDCS uses a low current from electrode...
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), formerly known as electroshock therapy, is the most well recognized form of non-invasive brain stimulation treatment. ECT is a treatment which induces a therapeutic seizure and is considered a safe form of convulsive therapy. It...
Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) is a novel form of convulsive therapy that relies on creating a therapeutic seizure. MST was developed as a means of improving the side effects found with using ECT, so that more patients may benefit from the procedure without suffering...
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neurostimulation treatment that uses the application of a low electrical current to modify neuronal activity. Powered by a small battery, a low level of current is passed through two electrodes placed on...
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method of neurostimulation that has been used since 1985 to study the functionality of the brain. Through the principle of electromagnetic induction, TMS generates highly concentrated, focalized, pulsating...
