Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, Brain Boost and Side-Effects

Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) could improve memory in participants asked to learn and then recall a list of 12 words. The effect was significant in the early learning stages: in the first few trials, in which participants were given the same list over and over again, people in the treatment group could remember more words. But the learning curve for those working without the device quickly caught up to the zapped learners.This conclusion of a recent research on TDCS published on Technology Review: Want to Enhance Your Brain Power? At first the encoding of of the words is better .....read more »
