The current special issue of Technology and Innovation, Journal of the National Academy of Inventors - is devoted to the evolution of neuroimaging technology, with seven articles chronicling the latest advances in this critical area.
TDCS is a very mild form of brain stimulation. The stimulation is painless and is given when a person is fully awake and alert with the stimulation session lasting 30 minutes.
Early results suggest that repetitive transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) reduces both substance use and cravings in cocaine addicts, offering hope of a novel medical treatment for patients with this addiction.
The treatment, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), could help many of the patients who remain trapped by major depression even after trying a whole menu of antidepress
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is a relatively new treatment for depression. It produces magnetic pulses similar to those found in MRI machines, but precisely targeted to certain areas of the brain to produce a therapeutic response.
SACRAMENTO, CA, December 23, 2015 /satPRnews.com/ — TMS Health Education, which offers accredited courses from the world’s leaders in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) announced that it will be hosting the first-ever Advanced TMS Symposium.
Using a brain scanner, scientists have discovered that memories can be recovered in just a tenth of a second - around a third of the time needed to blink. Previous research had estimated this at around five tenths of a second. The researchers also found retrieval can be obstructed if the person is subjected to repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), in which a magnetic coil is placed on their head.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is known to be a safe, noninvasive, treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), but how does cost compare with that of pharmacotherapy?
