TECHNOLOGY
tDCS (Tanscranial Direct Current Stimulation) is a noninvasive method that uses electrical stimulation to improve brain activity.
Research using tDCS has been actively conducted in recent years, and research on the safety and efficacy of tDCS has also been conducted.
A 2016 paper by Professor Marom Bikson discusses the safety of tDCS.
This paper analyzes the effects of electrode size, current intensity, and electrode location used during tDCS on safety.
It also addresses side effects and safety issues that occur during tDCS.
The results of this paper show that tDCS can be considered a safe method,
and that the possibility of safety issues occurring is very low.
However, since the safety of tDCS can be affected by electrode location, size, current intensity, etc.,
it is emphasized that these factors should be appropriately adjusted when used.
In conclusion, this paper, in which Professor Marom Bikson participated, shows the results of research on the safety of tDCS, and
Based on this, it is suggested that tDCS can be used appropriately to safely and effectively improve brain activity.
The 2016 paper by Professor Marom Bikson is titled
"Safety of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: Evidence Based Update 2016".
This paper comprehensively analyzes the latest research findings on the safety of tDCS,
and provides an update on the safety of tDCS based on this.
This paper was published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
