ABOUT tDCS
Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses a small electric current applied to the scalp to help treat mental and neurological conditions.
tDCS is a small, battery powered device. When the electrodes are placed on the scalp, it sends a weak electric current to the brain.
It's safe, meaning that it has minimal side effects.
It's non-invasive, meaning that it doesn't need anesthesia or surgery.
Who can benefit from tDCS?
Research has shown that tDCS can help treat different cognitive and psychological disorders. It can also be used for non-medical purposes like better learning, improved focus, relaxation, and meditation. Currently, Health Canada has approved tDCS for treating depression.
