Brain stimulation techniques or therapies are used to treat mental disorders or conditions by activating or inhibiting the brain using electricity. This can be accomplished by using electrodes that are surgically placed on the brain or noninvasively using electrodes on the exterior of the scalp. ...
which appears to play a role in depression, or to get "sham" stimulation. Those receiving the sham treatment were then switched over to active therapy.
