This paper from 2020 by Rebecca Keogh, Johanna Bergmann and Joel Pearson shows that electrical manipulation of the excitability of neurons in the prefrontal and visual cortices can be used to temporarily increase or decrease vividness of mental imagery (at least for people with some visual imagery): https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.50232
Mike Perrotta provides some background, and makes the research a little more accessible for the layperson in this 2021 article for the Aphantasia Network: https://aphantasia.com/article/science/shocking-insights/

I'm back from my one-month vacation in Brazil. Happy to see so many new faces here! Welcome everyone! I hope we can create meaningful connections!
My major interests usually involve #psychiatry, #mentalhealth, #clinicaltrials, and #neuroscience. More specifically #ketamine, #brainstimulation, and #psychedelic #medicine for the treatment of #mentaldisorders

From a meta-analysis about #tDCS (on sequence and working memory)that we are working on: "Overall, included studies were of poor methodological quality, especially with regards to statistical power. " 😱 🤦
Hello. I am a #psychologist and #neuroscientist at Manchester Metropolitan University #MMU in the UK.
I’m interested in using #tDCS and #TMS to explore and enhance human #brain function. Also keen on #ASMR (scientifically), #birdwatching (amateurishly) and #running (ploddingly).
Hi!
#psychologist #neuroscientist #mmu #tdcs #tms #brain #asmr #birdwatching #running
In 2021, I moved to the US to work as a postdoc in the Department of #Psychiatry and #BehavioralSciences at Stanford University. Hopefully, I will start my medical residency in the country in the following years 🇺🇸.
In my spare time, I love watching #documentaries, #art, #traveling, and #photography
I hope to meet new people and make new friends here, as well as discuss science and mainstream stuff too :)
