Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation and the Enhancement of Working Memory
… research is the use of transcranial current stimulation, specifically transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), as a cognition enhancer. The present study seeks to address three questions: (1) is there a separate working memory system for music distinct from verbal working memory, (2) …

Mapping the Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Visual Percepts Elicited by a Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Technique
… through this modality is extremely limited. Brain and retinal stimulation devices show exciting promise for restoring vision, but little is understood about where and when vision percepts can be induced through stimulation. Using a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial …

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation as a treatment for persistent auditory verbal hallucinations
… are the recommended treatment for AVHs but are non-effective in 25-30% of cases. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has proven reasonably effective but improvements can still be made to the treatment for some patients that experience AVHs. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a …

Optimizing Treatment for Depression: Integrating TMS and Ketamine Through Provider and Clinical Staff Education
… of the combined use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and ketamine for treating treatment-resistant depression (TRD). TRD affects a significant number of individuals who have Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and often do not respond to traditional antidepressant therapies, thus leading …

Orbitofrontal Cortex Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that is a safe and efficacious treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). Conventional rTMS in MDD targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) or the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC). …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Studies Investigating the Role of the DLPFC in Memory and Metamemory
… via high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Over three experiments, the current dissertation sought to replicate and extend this work by: 1) testing the effects of HD-tDCS …

Multifocal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Modulate Motor Learning
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that modulates neural excitability in targeted brain regions, influencing processes such as motor learning. While tDCS has been previously shown to benefit motor skill acquisition, much of this research has …

Effects of Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation on Motor Learning in the Developing Brain
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation applied in both healthy and clinical populations. Application of weak current induces electric fields at the neuronal level, and may lead to behavioral effects such as enhanced motor learning when paired with …
