Hi, Robert.

I am aware that there is intensive research being done in Sydney on Direct Current Stimulation (I'm assuming that's the same modality as "DBS"?).

DBS stands for Deep Brain Stimulation, and involves the implantation of electrodes into the brain. Direct current stimulation is known as DCS and involves the transcranial application of electricity similar to ECT. Confusing, I know.

Thanks for the links. I won't forget to look into DCS.

Here's another one:

Thanks for your concern and taking the time to provide information.
