It is also being used to treat anxiety disorders.
“These procedures are relatively safe, which means that it is easier to conduct brain stimulation during non-stimulated mental activity,” explains neuroscientist and study author Jens K.
But, is there a causal link?
But we were using a highly sensitive brain stimulation procedure to try to better understand this, since anxiety is often a very difficult mental behaviour to study,” says parental psychologist and first author of the study Thorbjørn Pape.
Extra co-author Hannes Lebye Andersen also participated in the study.
