Episode notes
Use tDCS Safely And Learn It
- Use tDCS carefully and learn proper placement, polarity, and current density from a course before trying it.
- Avoid increasing current until the person feels a strong skin sensation because that indicates skin effects, not better brain stimulation.
tACS Works By Resonance
- tACS effects depend on brain state and matching stimulation frequency to intrinsic rhythms.
- Stimulating at alpha can increase alpha but results are less predictable than DC stimulation.
Combine Stimulation With Neurofeedback
- Combine tDCS with neurofeedback when appropriate to accelerate and deepen results under professional supervision.
- Refer stimulation cases to credentialed practitioners and integrate modalities carefully.
