The technology and science of how tDCS boosts brain capacity and can enhance recovery after injury.

Marom Bikson NIH keynote on "transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) boosts brain capacity" at the 2020 Academy of Aphasia #AoA2020
Oct 19. 2020 (online meeting)

Topics covered:
1) Basics of tDCS. "Anodal" and "Cathodal" strategies
2) Introduction to electrode placement, conventional and HD electrodes
3) Customizing electrode placement for subjects with brain injury (stroke)
4) Functional targeting a mechanism to boost the efficacy of neuro-rehabilitation (therapy)
5) A new concept of "neurovascular modulation", where tDCS direct activates vascular function blood flow, BBB transport)
