Hi Robert. The h/t stands for "hat tip", which on Twitter expresses gratitude for someone alerting you to a souce.

The question is not whether non-invasive brain stimulation works (ever saw your hand muscles twitch when TMS is applied to your primary motor cortex?), but whether it is applied in a reasonable and well controlled manner, and whether the conclusions are backed up by the data.

TMS is a fantastic tool for basic research. The treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders is still largely experimental (with some exceptions). But improving intact high-level cognitive functions (aka neural enhancement) is definitely a bold claim, and more caution is needed here.

Not quite. There are several types of "brain stimulation." They do different things. Some effects of some of these techniques are not yet fully understood. The author makes premature, broad-stroke characterizations. Not helpful.

I completely agree with this assessment.

Ugh. Brain stimulation is such a frustrating field to work in because everyone has wildly polarized opinions . Can "one simple trick" improve your jazz improvisation, increase your cardio output, improve your memory, AND adjust your creativity? Probably not all at once.

Your critique is overgeneralisation in the field of noninvasive brain stimulation, but that's all I'm reading in these paragraphs
fyi, many recent studies are actually trying to answer all the questions you are asking. TMS only works for some just like drugs only work for someThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
