'''''Some of the project ideas we are interested in and would be eager to test in regard to different neuromodulation means:''''' | |||
1. tDCS | |||
- measurement! Can it be run with simultaneous measurement of EEG activity without damaging the sensor and producing meaningful data? Currently available tDCS kits provide no real time feedback | |||
- interaction of tDCS with other neurostimulation means including light and low induction TMS | |||
- interaction of tDCS with nootropics (such as ampakines like piracetam) or ergotropics (such as modafinil and bromantane) for those already using such drugs | |||
2. tACS/tRNS (transcranial random noise stimulation) | |||
- can the benefits of both tDCS and tACS be gained if monophasic pulsed current is used? | |||
- the colours of noise in tRNS ! Would they make any difference? | |||
3. Coherent/decoherent light | |||
- does the wavelength makes much difference and what is it? | |||
- continuous light stimulation versus impulse stimulation with high peak power very short bursts: how would the effects differ? | |||
- continuous versus modulated stimulation: how do we modulate? what are the observed differences? | |||
4. Weak field TMS (also called LiTMS - low induction TMS in some sources) | |||
- do God Helmet, "octopus", "shakti" and other Dr. Persinger's stimulation protocols actually work? | |||
- what other signals can be applied, and how | |||
- reproducing "Zhadin effect" (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3614765/ as a starting reading material) at Hackspace - can we do it? | |||
- generally, checking whether the KT (Bolzmann constant x temperature) thermodynamic limitation for biologic effects of weak magnetic fields withstands! (http://biomag.zz.mu/pdf/2007.Binhi.ea.EBM.pdf is a good challenge starter!) | |||
5. Other | |||
- record and replay! Can a specific state-associated EEG recording from a selected area induce or promote this state if replayed back to the same area of the same or different person as electric or magnetic signal? | |||
- producing software capable of using ERP's (Evoked Response Potentials) with simple and cheap BCI like the Mindwave or TSK sensors | |||
