What we offer
User-friendly tDCS Devices
PlatoWork tDCS headset for industry standard tDCS at home or with supervision.
Clinical TES Certification
Get certified in the clinical applications and protocols of TES technology generally, and the PlatoWork tDCS headset specifically.
At home tDCS
The PlatoWork headset uses tDCS technology: transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, an evidence-based, non-invasive, neuromodulation technique for supporting neurological change. tDCS can be beneficially combined with other methods and approaches to cognitive change.
PlatoScience products are not standalone treatments or therapeutic solutions, but supportive tools for anyone working with cognitive change.
Scientific evidence for the tDCS technology
Depression
There is level A evidence (definitely effective) for tDCS stimulation over the left prefrontal cortex to improve depression symptoms.
Cravings and addiction
There is level B evidence (probably effective) for tDCS stimulation over the right prefrontal cortex to reduce cravings in various addiction disorders (e.g. alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, gambling).
TMS Maintenance
Following successful TMS treatment, evidence supports the use of tDCS in order to prevent relapse and maintain the mental health of patients.

How does tDCS work?
tDCS enhances neuroplasticity by accelerating the rate of change and working with the brain to reach higher levels of connectivity faster. It delivers a microcurrent to the regions of the brain that include mood, attention, motor control, working memory and other higher cognitive functions.
The PlatoWork headset uses tDCS technology, which is the most common form of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES). In tDCS, two or more electrodes are placed on the scalp and a weak current is sent between them.
Where the current enters, the potential for neuronal firing increases. Where the current exits, the potential for firing decreases.
tDCS is used for a number of different purposes, but PlatoWork is an agnostic tDCS device making it easy to utilize this incredible technology.
