brain stimulation devices

Brain stimulation devices are tools that send electrical or magnetic signals to specific areas of the brain to influence its activity. They are used to treat conditions like depression, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy, or to help with stroke recovery and mental health. These devices work by modulating brain circuits, either by delivering gentle electrical impulses through electrodes (like in deep brain stimulation or transcranial electrical stimulation) or using magnetic fields (like transcranial magnetic stimulation). They can improve symptoms when medications or therapy aren’t enough, offering targeted, non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment options.
