The Stimulated Brain: Cognitive Enhancement Using Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

• amazon.com
However, although Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and particularly Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) have the potential to become more widely applicable techniques, as they come with none of the risks associated with deep brain stimulation, the reference literature on these neurotechnologies has been sparse.

The Stimulated Brain presents the first integration of findings on brain stimulation-with a primary focus on tES, one of the most frequently used noninvasive stimulation methods-from different research fields. The work provides a broad survey of current knowledge, and also marks future directions in cognitive and neuro-enhancement. It expands our understanding of basic research findings from animals and humans, including clear translational benefits for applied research and the therapeutic use of noninvasive brain stimulation methods.
