Circle Connections: Tech Updates Whether it's hitting a golf ball, playing the piano or speaking a foreign language, becoming really good at something requires practice. Repetition creates neural pathways in the brain, so the behavior eventually becomes more automatic and outside distractions have less impact. It's called being in the zone. But what if you could establish the neural pathways that lead to virtuosity more quickly? That is the promise of transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS – the passage of very low-level electrical current through targeted areas of the brain. Several studies conducted in medical and military . . .
