Abstract

Recently, noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCs) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), have become widely available. Both of these methods hold considerable promise for studying the role of different cortical regions in dreaming through stimulation of these regions during sleep and then collecting subsequent dream reports on awakening.
