BRAIN STIMULATION
The Change
Complex cognitive functions such as decision-making, emotional self-regulation, or effective adaptation to changing circumstances arise from carefully timed and orchestrated synchrony of brain activity across multiple brain structures (i.e., brain networks).
In neurological and mental health disorders such as post-concussion syndrome, anxiety, depression, phobias, PTSD, and so on, brain networks become disorganized due to poor timing, lack of synchronization, or both (Widge & Miller, 2019). Such inefficient brain activity can manifest as over- or under-activity and/or inefficient connectivity within or between various brain networks.
Neuromodulation is a non-invasive procedure that aims to re-regulate brain inefficiencies. At the clinical level, it is comprised of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) pulsed electro-magnetic field stimulation (PEMF), and low energy neural stimulation (LENS).
