There were two groups, one which received real tDCS and the other which received a sham tDCS.

Eyeballing it, the pre-tDCS trend is relatively flat compared to the tDCS period.

It looks like tDCS hasn't been solidly proven or disproven, so it will be exciting if this gets more researchers to look into the effectiveness of tDCS.

She also said that high-quality studies have pretty much uniformly debunked tDCS as having any sort of effect.

We have both temporal precedence and covariance; together, these strongly suggest that tDCS is responsible for the observed effects.

She says that tDCS devices sold to the public are certainly a scam, and they may even be unsafe.

In this instance, it has been argued tDCS impacts cognition via repeated exposure and, possibly, overnight consolidation.

While EEG neurofeedback doesn't always work,isn't it safer than tDCS, and if it works it's more targeted?

Indeed, the authors applied a causal intervention (tDCS or a sham treatment) to randomly assigned subjects.

Anyone out there tried anything with tDCS and programming - either personally or as a part of a scientific study?

It is wholly possible that several sessions of tDCS are required in order for a reliable effect to be seen.

DIY tDCS has been around for a few years, but this is the first example of tDCS self-science that at least tried to collect useful data (that I'm aware of).

And the "9-Volt Nirvana" Radiolab podcast on "trans-cranial direct current stimulation", or tDCS, which is also mentioned in the article.

In the meantime, tDCS got branded as "almost the same thing" (I suspect that "tDCS" is a new term purposefuly chosen to sound similar to TMS) and quoted publications about TMS to claim a proven effect.

He states in the article that "considering that I have done the dual n back task (on and off) over two years before starting the tDCS experiment, my baseline was well-established."

Steve’s group has deep expertise and focuses on biosensing, beyond my limited bio sensor knowledge." I would love to see that work combined with the nano mechanical systems work going on at MIT[2], a la deep brain nano neural stimulation (tdcs?
