Description
Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (or NiBS) methods include Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. Over the past decade, both of these methods have experienced explosive growth in their application both to understand the human brain and to treat neuropsychiatric disorders. In this course, we will discuss NiBS and its application in youth. First, we will explain the types of NiBS currently in use, and their potential risks and benefits. Second, we will address their use as a probe of brain function. Third, we will explore their application in neuropsychiatric disorders in youth.
