Non-invasive brain stimulation and plasticity changes in aging [PDF]
Our conceptualization of brain changes across the lifespan is evolving (Pascual-Leone et al., 2011). There appears to be no period when the brain and its functions are static.

Prior studies have suggested that oscillatory activity in cortical networks can modulate stimulus-evoked responses through time-varying fluctuations in neural excitation-inhibition dynamics.

Paradoxical Facilitation of Attention in Healthy Humans
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-induced virtual lesions in healthy subjects can be used to test neurofunctional models of disease. The interhemispheric rivalry model of heminglect is well suited for such investigations, as simple predictions ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation over multiple days improves learning and maintenance of a novel vocabulary [PDF]
Introduction: Recently, growing interest emerged in the enhancement of human potential by means of non-invasive brain stimulation. In particular, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) has been shown to exert beneficial effects on motor ...

Non-invasive brain current stimulation in neurorehabilitation
Neurologic conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, tumors, and degenerative diseases are often associated with dramatic impairments in brain function. Converging evidence in the fields of clinical neurorehabilitation and cognitive neuroscience has revealed that functional recovery after brain injury depends largely on compensatory plastic ...

Heritability of brain resilience to perturbation in humans
Resilience is the capacity of complex systems to persist in the face of external perturbations and retain their functional properties and performance.

Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation alters neural response and physiological autonomic tone to noxious thermal challenge. [PDF]
The mechanisms by which noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) affect central and peripheral neural circuits that subserve pain and autonomic physiology are not clear, and thus remain an area of intense investigation.

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation does not affect verbal memory performance in healthy volunteers [PDF]
Introduction: Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) improves word recognition memory in patients with epilepsy. Recent studies with transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) have also shown positive effects on various subdomains of cognitive functioning in healthy ...

Facilitate Insight by Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation
Our experiences can blind us. Once we have learned to solve problems by one method, we often have difficulties in generating solutions involving a different kind of insight. Yet there is evidence that people with brain lesions are sometimes more resistant to this so-called mental set effect. This inspired us to investigate whether the mental set effect

Noninvasive Brain Stimulation and Personal Identity: Ethical Considerations. [PDF]
As noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technology advances, these methods may become increasingly capable of influencing complex networks of mental functioning. We suggest that these might include cognitive and affective processes underlying personality
