Seven Rules for Subthreshold Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation (brain stimulation) can change how the brain works through "sub-threshold" mechanisms. This lecture by Dr. Marom Bikson provides an overview of sub-threshold mechanisms and is directed more to researchers and others already deeply interested in brain stimulation mechanisms. It covers topics that are expanded on in the research publications listed below.
