Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Assessment of Neurodegenerative Disease.
Transcranial doppler sonography(assessment of the blood flow of intracranial vessels);
Would purchase a research grade Transcranial electrical current stimulation system.
In the future,
Sarma and Sacre plan to explore whether non-invasive brain stimulation, such as Transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS), would have the same effect.
Using the technique of Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS),
an electrode is placed on the forehead, and a weak DC current(1.5 mA) is delivered for 22 minutes.
Transcranial irradiation cannot suffice in this case since the zones
that must be reached are deeper than the few centimeters of penetration achieved with near-infrared laser transmission.
To demonstrate this correlation, Kanai's team had test subjects perform a simple task while ignoring a persistent distraction-
then disrupted the function of their SPL using a technique called Transcranial magnetic stimulation.
