Findings reveal sound waves can modulate fear learning and memory, enabling faster unlearning of fear, and advancing noninvasive brain therapies.

Research investigating the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on individuals with depression and comorbid anxiety reveals a dual impact of this noninvasive form of brain ...
