One popular set of techniques, called transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), delivers electrical current via electrodes stuck to the scalp, typically above the target brain area.
«Thus, direct induction of sleep spindles — for example, via transcranial electrical stimulation — perhaps combined with targeted memory reactivation, may enable us to further improve memory performance while we sleep.»
Not exact matches
These include Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, the former uses alternating magnetic fields to simulate specific brain areas while the latter aims electrical currents of power equal to a 9 - volt battery to specific brain areas.
Called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), the noninvasive technique uses electromagnets to create localized electrical currents in the brain.
Cohen Kadosh's team made headlines in 2010, when it showed that a different form of electrical jolt — transcranial direct - current stimulation (TDCS)-- helped volunteers to learn and remember a number system made up of unfamiliar symbols.
Unusual test of transcranial stimulation shows that little electrical current penetrates the skull
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques aimed at mental and neurological conditions include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for depression, and transcranial direct current (electrical) stimulation (tDCS), shown to improve memory.
«Electrical brain stimulation could support stroke recovery: Hand and arm training boosted by transcranial direct current stimulation.»
This so - called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) triggers the flow of small electrical currents in neural circuits beneath the coils.
By testing cycling time to task failure (TTF) in a group of 12 active participants in a placebo controlled study, Dr Mauger discovered that stimulating the brain by passing a mild electrical current (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) over the scalp to stimulate it increased the activity of the area associated with muscle contraction.
Such studies could guide still - experimental therapies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, which aims to suppress or boost brain activity in targeted areas through electrical currents.
It proposes that transcranial direct - current electrical stimulation of the primary motor cortex and the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex significantly ameliorates the condition.
The technique uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), in which weak electrical currents are applied to the scalp using electrodes.
Another technique dubbed magnetoencephalography (MEG) maps magnetic fields in the brain produced by electrical signals; a similar approach, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), selectively stimulates parts of the brain and is already being used to treat severe depression, migraine headaches and other conditions.
Neurophysical rehabilitation, as well as higher - tech approaches, like transcranial electrical or magnetic stimulation (where small electric currents are delivered to the brain) can encourage the brain to adapt.
