Got some time to watch some videos about tDCS? Want to spend just a few minutes? Or got a lot of time and what to take a deep dive? tDCS.com selects the best videos on tDCS. From basic introductions to deep devices, we also outline how to pick the right video for you. We summarize what’s in each video and rate them in Difficulty Level from EASY (anyone can watch and enjoy) to MEDIUM (needs a tDCS background) to HARD (buckle up for a deep technical device).
PBS “How a gentle electrical jolt can focus a sluggish mind”

Dr. Vince Clark on “tDCS for Cognitive Enhancement” at UC Davis Center for Mind And Brain 2013
Topics Covered: A broad introduction to why tDCS can boost condition and different applications.
Duration: 54 minutes
Difficult Level: EASY/MEDIUM.
While covering state of the art research, its not hard to follow the rational as presented by Clark.
Dr. Marom Bikson talks about “The potential and limits of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation” at the Society for Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) in May 2018.
Topics Covered: A good overview of how tDCS gets current in to the brain, how models help pick montages, and High=-Definition tDCS. Dose response and the cellular mechanisms (synapse) of tDCS.
Duration: 32 minutes including Q+A
Difficulty Level: MEDIUM.
This talk is geared toward professionals but Bikson presents the topics in a clear way that would be followed by most people already familiar with the basics of tDCS
