SDS 094: Sparking The Brain
In Episode #94, Dr. James Giordano joins Jesse for a conversation about brain stimulation technologies that work both through the skull (transcranial electric stimulation, or tES, and transcranial magnetic stimulation, or tMS) and by way of invasive surgical procedures (deep brain stimulation, or DBS). What is today's state-of-the art and what might it be in the very near future?
Throw in a spirited conversation about neuroethics — Dr. Giordano consults DARPA on these issues, helping to keep the U.S. military's most sci-fi branch ethically on-track — and you’ve got an episode that will leave your brain fully charged.
