Dubbed the "Fitbit for the brain", a European-based company called Neuroelectrics, has developed a medical device that could not only help us learn more about how the brain functions, but is thought to have therapeutic potential as well, through stimulating parts of the brain with low electrical current.
"In Europe, the caps are used for the treatment of stroke, depression and pain from nerve injuries, particularly in Spain, France and Belgium. With depression, according to Maiques, the research has shown that if one part of the brain is stimulated, fewer anti-depressant drugs were needed to treat the condition."
