Europe's first approved medical brain stimulator for treating depression is now available for everyone to use at home.

According to new research by Oxford University (UK), the method of direct transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) can help improve the speed of learning.

The most recent company intending to create such a product is Thync, a start-up founded by businessman Isy Goldwasser and neurologist Jamie Tyler.

In many previous studies, scientists have demonstrated that using low intensity electricity in some cases can help treat some diseases, such as depression, anxiety or chronic pain.
