non-invasive brain stimulation

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) refers to techniques that modulate brain activity without surgery or implants. Using devices that deliver targeted magnetic or electrical signals to specific brain areas, NIBS can enhance or inhibit neural function. Common methods include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). These techniques are used in research and clinical settings to treat conditions like depression, improve cognitive functions, or study brain behavior. Since they do not require surgery, NIBS is considered safe when properly administered, offering a non-invasive way to influence brain activity and potentially improve mental health and neurological outcomes.
