Abstract

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) enable us to safely interfere with and manipulate brain function. This has drastically changed the fields of psychology and cognitive neuroscience, and led to exciting new avenues for therapeutic interventions. The most commonly used techniques are Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES). These use magnetic fields and/or electric currents that are able to pass through the skull and reach the underlying brain tissue transcranially. This article provides a brief history of the development of NIBS, followed by a review of their mechanisms, common applications, and ethical and safety considerations.
