World Science Festival | Electric Medicine and the Brain Salon

Does electrical stimulation to the brain hold the key to better treatment for depression, stroke, and other neurological problems? Join us for an in-depth look at the use of TMS (magnetic) and tDCS (electrical) devices. We’ll hear from a psychiatrist and the depression patient he has treated with electric stimulation, as well as from neuroscientists who will discuss and demonstrate the use of these devices and what their research is telling them about the potential for treatment.

The World Science Festival’s annual salon series offers in-depth conversations with leading scientists, extending the discussion of the Festival’s premier public programs to graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and well-informed members of the general public.
