Brain Stimulation and Imaging

Therapies for brain stimulation use directly with electricity to activate or inhibit the brain. Strom can be directly determined by electrodes implanted in the brain or by electrodes placed non-invasively on the scalp. Electricity can also be induced through the use of magnetic fields on the head. Brain imagery and brain stimulation have both enhanced our understanding of normal functional mechanisms and changes related to brain and mental illness. Brain encouragement has also shown promise to reduce brain and mental illness symptoms and allows hypotheses derived from data on brain imaging to be tested.
