Talk:Transcranial Stimulation

There was a meta-analysis i read somehwere i should grab on this a while back. The tech is TCDS, or trans-cranial direct current stimulation i think?

But they did person vs "person wearing headset doing nothing" vs "person wearing headset with it on a setting only high enough that it is "noticably different feeling skin wise" vs "person with headset on estimated thearapudic levels of current"

Between the precision electronics needed to get those ultra low dc voltages/currents/i forget what variable it was, the need for wet, or somewhat expensive dry electrodes, i think it isn't too useful for most uses (especially non-clinical), especially when you could spend that and get an eeg cap via Open BCI .

Also for clinical, TMS or transcranial magnetic stimulation is more effective i think? Granted it is an emerging method, not too well understood yet, but it seems to be more of a subtle tweak of activation energy, rather than some magic on/off thing.

I think the main things were for aiding in learning a slight bit?

I'll grab that paper later, i'm probably logging off around now, but i did geek out on this a few years back, so can grab some info
