thanks for your posts. Pretty darn informative and educational.
I'd love to see you, ballerina & whoever else feels confident enough, discuss your best guesses as to what's going on in tDCS…

I'm actually reasonably well-educated on the theories of electromagnetic wave propagation, etc. but what's going on with the brain and tDCS still baffles me. I'm a practical person – so I don't need to know what's going on -- but I'm a curious person, so I'd like to hear some ideas from people who don't have to consider all the ins and outs of a research publication to express their ideas.

On another note -- I'm curious if anybody has any simple and inexpensive techniques for vagal nerve stimulation? One of my other symptoms is that my autonomic system is messed up – ramped towards the sympathetic side…

Thanks!

In the long term picture, tDCS is really in its infancy. Having posed this question to the top three tDCS folks in the country the bottom line is no one really understands exactly how and why tDCS or why it works for some and not for others.
