25.01.2022 Trans-Cranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), a type of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses a small electric current to stimulate the brain, is most commonly known as a treatment for depression. Research also shows that tDCS can help reduce pain and fatigue associated with Fibromylagia. For information about tDCS see: https://www.perthbraincentre.com.au/services/tdcs #perthbraincentre #perth #fibromyalgia #tDCS

25.01.2022 Enough sleep last night ? Don't count on your morning cup of coffee to make a big difference (especially when it comes to very challenging tasks).

24.01.2022 How do you take notes ? Research indicates that taking notes by hand is associated with better learning than when using a computer/device - "Old fashioned pen and paper is definitely best". The Perth Brain Centre has been helping people of all ages, for over 10 years, to improve their attention and learning by using QEEG Brain Scans to help target brain-training (neurofeedback). For more information about how neurofeedback can help see: https://www.perthbraincentre.com.au/ #perthbraincentre #perth #brain #learning #neurofeedback #adhd
