Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation (tRNS)
This method of stimulation is used to break up hypercoherence
in the brain. Hypercoherence is when parts of the brain are
too synchronized and repetitive. tRNS helps to break up this
repetition, and is highly effective in the treatment of things
such as Tinnitus (a ringing in the ears). tRNS works by giving
random frequencies between anode and cathode to help break up
the hypercoherence.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS is exactly what it sounds like: a one way electrical
current driven from one point to another on the brain or
another part of the body. The current is streamed from anode
(the positive electrode) to cathode (the negative electrode)
and can be used to treat a variety of conditions as it creates
a surge of calcium and sodium ions in the brain. As a result
of this surge in ions, the brain becomes more receptive to
Neurofeedback and pEMF.
Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS)
tACS is where a current continuously switches back and forth
from anode to cathode. Where tDCS is a constant direct current
from one electrode to another, tACS requires that that current
change directions so that each electrode both gives and
receives the electrical current much like a ping pong match.
