Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a widely used biochemical stimulus for promoting neuronal maturation. However, the broad effects of biochemical stimuli on multiple cellular functions limit their applicability in both in vitro models and clinical settings. Electrical stimulation (ES) offers a...
Such “deep brain stimulation” (DBS)works miracles on people with otherwise untreatable epilepsy or Parkinson’s disease– but drilling into someone’s head is an extreme step. In future, we may be able to get the same effects by using stimulators placed outside the head, an advance tha...
Electric brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), are widely used to modulate human brain activity on a cortical level1,2,3. It is, however, not possible to reach deep brain structures non-invasively without stimulating the overlaying cortex. Currently...
Smith argues that the neuroscience community has an ethical imperative to watch over the consuming public at a time when the risks and benefits of tDCS technology are still uncertain. The real impetus for change will more likely come from agency regulation of consumer tDCS devices....
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) provide a mobility solution for patients with various disabilities. However, BCI systems require further research to enhance their performance while incorporating the physical and behavioral states of patients into the system. As the principal users of a BCI system, pati...

The device is specifically intended to deliver Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy and has a dual-pin header. The latest technology treats and offers benefits to patients who have been embedded with a dual-pin lead and IPG In November 2022, electroCore, Inc. announced that Joerns Healthcare,...
Given the remarkable therapeutic benefits of DBS for patients with otherwise treatment-resistant movement and affective disorders (Kringelbach et al., 2007), the prospects for noninvasive DBS using electricity are potentially exciting. Other methods for noninvasive DBS have been proposed, e.g., using...

delivered before various AM tasks consistently showed beneficial effects of parietal stimulation13,20,24. The novel otDCS approach has been designed with the idea of bringing together the benefits of both tDCS and tACS in a single technique. The sinusoidal oscillations superimposed on an anodal DC ...
