THE NOFACE aime quand ça Change, Change, Change #SkipTheUse, soit: tous les musiciens, sans #MatB, chanteur charismatique, mais avec 1 chanteuse d'exception à la place: #OmaJali, vraie tigresse sur scène, au charisme redoutable & à la voix d'or bien chaude https://t.co/3euPWzrnpg

Wright Patterson Neuro-scientist [Dr.R.A McKinley] testing #MATB #tDCS #NIBS #AFRL (Multi-Attribute Task Battery, trans-cranial direct current stimulation, Non-invasive Brain stimulation)...after 30min session... "According to McKinley, tDCS is twice as effective and lasts three times as long as caffeine. It increases learning rates by 25 to 200 percent, wakefulness by up to 24 hours; and multitasking capability by a minimum of 30 percent at all monitored levels." "To me, the program made sense, especially as an alternative to the accepted widespread use of cognitive enhancing drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall. Transcranial DCS eliminates the negative side effects from taking a drug, is exceptionally cheap, remarkably portable, and user friendly." “What we are exploring are ways of changing brain activity to increase performance on specific cognitive skills,” said McKinley. “We are focused on finding ways to sustain attention for long periods of time, which applies well to a variety of missions that the Air Force and other military functions do everyday. ---------------------- Methods; Non-invasive brain stimulation methods Dr. Andy McKinley has been involved with, along with the characteristics that each method optimizes: 1. **Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)**: - **Method**: tDCS involves applying a low-intensity, constant electrical current through electrodes placed on the head. This current modulates neuronal activity. - **Characteristics Optimized**: tDCS is researched primarily for its potential to enhance cognitive functions such as learning, memory, and attention. The stimulation aims to improve reaction time and vigilance, which can be particularly beneficial in settings that require sustained concentration and quick responses. 2. **Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)**: - **Method**: TMS uses magnetic fields to induce small electric currents in specific areas of the brain. This is done using a coil placed near the scalp. - **Characteristics Optimized**: TMS can directly activate brain tissue, making it a powerful tool for studying brain circuitry and potentially enhancing cognitive functions. It's used not only for research but also clinically to treat depression and other neurological disorders. 3. **Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Stimulation**: - **Method**: PEMF involves the application of electromagnetic fields to the brain, which can influence cellular behavior and brain activity. - **Characteristics Optimized**: The focus is on modulating brain excitability and activity without the need for conductive gels, as in tDCS. PEMF has historically been used for aiding tissue healing but is being explored for its potential to enhance cognitive functions and treat neurological disorders. 4. **Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS)**: - **Method**: tACS delivers a sinusoidal current which can influence the brain's rhythmic activity. This method is similar to tDCS but uses alternating current instead of direct current. - **Characteristics Optimized**: tACS is studied for its ability to entrain brain waves and thus potentially enhance cognitive abilities related to those specific rhythms, such as memory consolidation during sleep or heightened attention during wakefulness. These methods are part of broader research aimed at enhancing human performance, particularly in military applications where cognitive endurance, decision-making speed, and accuracy are critical. Each technique offers different advantages and focuses on enhancing specific brain functions by modulating neural activity in various ways.
