Researchers caution public about hidden risks of self-administered brain stimulation
Experts from the (Cognitive) neuroscience research community warn about the risks involved in home use of transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS), the application of electrical current to the brain. Ref. Source 1p.
No evidence that brain-stimulation technique boosts cognitive training. Transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS) -- a non-invasive technique for applying electric current to areas of the brain -- may be growing in popularity, but new research suggests that it probably does not add any meaningful benefit to cognitive training.
