I remember when tracking your brain activity was something only researchers in white lab coats could do. Now I can slip on a headband in my living room and watch my brainwaves dance across my phone screen. Welcome to the…
Researchers have found noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) as an innovative method used to modulate brain activity without surgery. Techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) use electrical and magnetic fields to influence brain functions.…
When I first encountered depression, it felt like an unending battle with an invisible opponent. My world became colorless, and everyday activities seemed insurmountable. That’s when I started looking into what could be causing these feelings and stumbled upon the…
Anxiety is a common experience that affects many people, often triggered by specific situations or stressors unique to each individual. These triggers can range from social interactions to financial concerns, and recognizing them is a crucial first step in managing…
When LiftiD stepped onto the Shark Tank stage to showcase their Brain Stimulator, it wasn’t just another pitch; it marked a pivotal moment for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) devices. By presenting a technology aimed at enhancing cognitive function through…
Electrotherapy presents a fascinating intersection of science and medicine, offering innovative solutions for pain management and physical therapy. But how does electrotherapy work? At its essence, this technique harnesses electrical energy to aid in the body’s healing processes, proving instrumental…
Neuroimaging is a branch of medical imaging sciences that focuses on capturing detailed images of the brain and CNS (Central Nervous System) without the use of invasive methods like surgery. It is also considered similar to the field of modern…
In our fast-paced world, mental health issues are a significant concern. Statistics reveal that nearly one in five adults live with a mental illness in the U.S. alone. This pressing reality underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions. Brainwave entrainment…
Neurostimulation stands at the forefront of innovative pain management therapies, offering a revolutionary approach to altering the trajectory of pain signals en route to the brain. This technique is rooted in the principle of modifying the transmission pathway of these…
Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapeutic interventions have been prominent for the last few decades in the treatment of mental health disorders and neurological diseases. Brain and behaviour studies have been working for years to maximize the functioning of neural systems and their…
