About tDCS
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that utilizes low amplitude direct currents applied via scalp electrodes to inject currents in the brain and thus modulates the level of excitability. DC stimulation has been used in various forms since the inception of modern electrophysiology at the beginning of nineteenth century. There has...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS is a neurophysiological technique that allows the induction of a current in the brain using a magnetic field to pass the scalp and the skull safely and painlessly. In TMS, a current passes through a coil of copper wire that is encased in plastic and held over the subject’s head. This coil resembles a paddle or a large spoon and is held in place either by...

he treatment is called “transcranial magnetic stimulation” and essentially involves placing a powerful electromagnet on a person’s scalp. The electromagnet alters brain activity by inducing an electromagnetic current in the underlying cortical neurons. Researchers aren’t sure why that would have a therapeutic...

What can an artistic approach bring to issues raised by the advances in genetic technology?
This is an interesting question on a broader scale and is actually a critical point in a current online symposium [Virtual Symposium On Visual Culture and Bioscience]. Here, Suzanne Anker prompts the notion that the biosciences may be considered to be experiencing a “golden age,�? the arts on the...
electro-sensitivity in sharks
The hammer head shark has to be the best looking of the sharks – I have only seen them on the “Blue planet” series – I was intrigued at the massive shoals where they seem to perform this odd twitch where the body flexes almost like a spasm – i was wandering if this has anything to do with generating a pulse of electricity that other sharks can detect? as thses sharks are not electrically active –...
