The Handbook of Non-Invasive Transcranial Brain Stimulation in the Cognitive Domain: Methods, Psychophysiology, Neuroenhancement and Therapeutic Applications presents the latest scientific insights and technological advancements in the field of noninvasive transcranial brain stimulation (NIBS) within the cognitive domain. This comprehensive volume reviews published research and explores future directions for the use of NIBS techniques, in particular repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS, tACS), to study and modulate human cognition as well as to treat various psychiatric and neurological disorders from a neurocognitive perspective. By integrating findings from preclinical animal studies, modeling approaches, and research, this book sheds light on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognitive processes and neuroplasticity. It provides a detailed analysis of how NIBS affects psychophysiology and cognitive performance in healthy populations while offering insights into its therapeutic potential for patients with cognitive impairments across a wide range of neuropsychiatric disorders. This handbook offers an unparalleled gateway to the dynamic and rapidly advancing field of neuromodulation and serves as an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, students, and policymakers.
Predicting brain activity is important for diagnosis. Controlling it is critical for disease. There are only a limited number of ways brain activity can be controlled non-invasively, each with advantages and shortcomings. These critical issues are debated in the didactic chapters of this volume, contributed by top experts in these fields, covering transcranial magnetic and electrical stimulation and ultrasound stimulation. The principle of “primum non nocere” (first, do no harm) is discussed by several authors, emphasizing the need to learn more about the mechanisms of these methods. The reader will walk away with the important message that non-invasive perturbation, especially its closed-loop (on-demand) version, is on its way to effectively compete with pharmaceuticals with much fewer side effects. -György Buzsáki, MD, PhD.
