transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (tDCS) in stroke
Research with neuroConn's DC-STIMULATOR products were presented at the British Science Festival 2011 in Bradford, 10-15 September
Prof. Heidi Johansen-Berg from Oxford University presented her findings on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at the British Science Festival 2011 in Bradford. Prof. Johansen-Berg believes there is potential to apply the technique to other types of function such as vision, speech, hearing, learning and that it offers “exciting possibilities for education, training and stroke rehabilitation”.
"Brain stimulation speeds learning"
The international press showed great interest in the Festival and the findings and reacted with a number of publications, some of which we have collected for you below.
