What is tDCS?
tDCS Explained
Transcranial direct current stimulation, also known as tDCS, is a non-invasive and non-pharmacological form of brain stimulation. This technique has been used as a treatment option for age-related cognitive decline and enhancement of various cognitive abilities for over a decade. Until now, it was only available in-clinic.​​
tDCS Overview
tDCS reinforces naturally occurring processes in the brain to reduce symptoms of age-related cognitive decline.​​
​
tDCS and Age-related Cognitive Decline
Brain cells communicate through electrical impulses. It has been observed through various scientific studies that certain areas of the brain are not as active in individuals with age-related cognitive decline. More specifically, age-related cognitive decline symptoms have been associated with lower activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC).
tDCS works by activating neural networks through gentle currents. This electrical current stimulates brain activity in the PFC region and helps to improve symptoms of age-related cognitive decline.​​
​
tDCS and BrainBloom
BrainBloom brings together the technology and science of tDCS into a simple and portable device for at-home use.​The BrainBloom headband delivers a weak current (2 mA) to the DLPFC via electrodes placed on the forehead and has been shown to improve symptoms of age-related cognitive decline. Since BrainBloom is able to directly target specific brain areas involved in age-related cognitive decline, it has the potential to change brain responses at the source.​​
tDCS and You
Age-related cognitive decline can be influenced by a variety of root causes. However, most people are prescribed the same treatment. The most common treatments for age-related cognitive decline — exercise and supplements — may work for some, but not for all.​
Supplements can be expensive and exercise is not accessible to everybody. tDCS previously was only offered in-clinic and was costly. Now, with BrainBloom you can experience the power of tDCS in the comfort of your own home.​​

​
tDCS and Safety
The treatment provided by BrainBloom is FDA approved. This means that BrainBloom is approved for medical use and compliant with the strict US laws for medical devices. FDA approval ensures that:​
​
- BrainBloom is based on scientific evidence
- The treatment reduces symptoms of age-related cognitive decline
- The headband is safe to use
