Until now, if experts wanted to electrically stimulate structures deep inside the brain, they needed to surgically implant electrodes into the brain.
A new non-invasive form of deep brain stimulation could provide alternative treatment for brain diseases
But the new technique, called temporal interference , works by remotely stimulating specific regions deep within the brain by using electrodes placed on the scalp and different parts of the head. “With our new technique we have shown for the first time that it is possible to remotely stimulate specific regions deep within the human brain without the need for surgery.
“We hope that this will restore normal brain activity in the affected areas, which could improve symptoms of memory impairment.” The study is published at the same time as a second study led by researchers at Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne , Switzerland, which independently validated the technology.
