Belgian psychiatrist Damian Denys explains (in dutch) the use of DBS for OCD at Pauw en Witteman, a dutch talkshow. Below you can find an extensive video in which a patient treated for OCD is shown. Additional information should be found at Teleac in the course Wetenschap is beterschap, but unfortunatelly I could not find it.
The AMC, the medical centre Denys works, also interviewed him for the video series Fascinaties (Fascination).

After reading a lot of publications about brain stimulation I do not think you can really stimulate your brain with a 9V battery. But then again Wikipedia mentions that you only need 1-2 mA. And some people just try it. It is called transcranial direct current stimulation.

Since I will be busy finishing my thesis about on a history of brain stimulation in psychiatry with a focus on TMS, DBS and VNS, I will keep you updated about my achievements. This will mean that I will post less about web 2.0 and all that kind of stuff.
Later I will tell something about the way I work. How do I cope with loads of pdf (>100) and loads of references (>3000). But for now I just want to share some interesting videos about brain stimulation. Two are about TMS. The first one is a promotional video (thanks to Brain Stimulant). It tells us that Deep TMS was invented in 2001, but I am not really sure that is true. But I will find out during my research.

Ik ben deze week enigszins gefocused op de neurologie. Mijn vorige artikel ging over Oliver Sacks en nu kwam ik via Neurophilosophy onderstaande documentaire tegen over een blinde jongen die met behulp van echo ziet.
Dit zijn de eerste tien minuten van de drie kwartier durende documentaire. De andere delen kunt u op YouTube vinden.
