Description
Book Synopsis
The Handbook of Non-Invasive Transcranial Brain Stimulation in the Cognitive Domain serves as an essential resource, capturing the latest advancements and scientific insights into non-invasive brain stimulation methods. This comprehensive volume delves into various techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation. It highlights their application in understanding psychophysiology and enhancing cognitive performance in both experimental models and healthy individuals. Such methods offer substantial promise in unraveling the complexities of neural network dynamics and cognitive functions. In addition to discussing foundational methods and experimental models, the book also explores therapeutic applications for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. These multimodal brain stimulation approaches present innovative avenues for potential treatments. By integrating both theoretical and practical perspectives, this handbook not only reviews existing data but also opens new horizons for future research and clinical applications, providing invaluable insights for professionals in the field.Review Quotes
Predicting brain activity is important for diagnosis. Controlling it is critical for disease. There are only a limited number of ways brain activity can be controlled non-invasively, each with advantages and shortcomings. These critical issues are debated in the didactic chapters of this volume, contributed by top experts in these fields, covering transcranial magnetic and electrical stimulation and ultrasound stimulation. The principle of "primum non nocere" (first, do no harm) is discussed by several authors, emphasizing the need to learn more about the mechanisms of these methods. The reader will walk away with the important message that non-invasive perturbation, especially its closed-loop (on-demand) version, is on its way to effectively compete with pharmaceuticals with much fewer side effects.
