title: Syncing your brain: electric currents to enhance cognition.
abstract: Contemporary studies in cognitive neuroscience demonstrate that cognitive performance can be enhanced by applying exogenous low-intensity electric currents to the brain. These findings have resulted in a widespread interest from both scientists and popular media, particularly, regarding the host of possible applications in everyday life functioning. I discuss here the significance and current challenges of low-intensity electric current stimulation in enhancing cognitive performance.
