I came across this the other day, and wondered whether anyone had heard of or tried it.

Alan, as far as I know this is an experimental approach for research trials only. I don't believe anyone is practicing with this method.
They say that the practice of medicine is at least 20 years behind the scientific literature, so maybe in another 10 years.....
Hopefully someone has heard otherwise???

I saw a BBC programme with something about this a while ago. Think it was a Horizon documentary. . . . OOOh found it

All well worth a watch. . . . but the magnetic stimulation was mostly in part 4 and rather emotional.

Here is another article on transcranial stimulation, this one published earlier this month by the Nantes folks.

That's very interesting Dave, thanks. I may be heading there so it's good to know that they have something else up their sleeves for us.

When you go, please ask questions about it (e.g., does it work? when might it be available around the world as a treatment? who else is working on this?) and let us all know!
