What is tTIS and How Does It Affect the Brain?

A new way to change brain activity without surgery is called transcranial temporal interference stimulation, or tTIS for short. It's like a remote control for the brain, but scientists are still figuring out how well it works. They gathered all the studies they could find on tTIS and looked at them closely. Out of 127 studies, only 18 met their strict standards. The...
