Why are we mentioning voltage and current, but not impedance?
editPlease, to make the information more correct, mention the follow information. It's crucially important.
"However, only about 1% of the electrical current crosses the bony skull into the brain because skull impedance is about 100 times higher than skin impedance (Weaver et al., 1976)." https://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/83887/excerpt/9780521883887_excerpt.pdf
Notable cases of controversial use?
editShould not the article have a discussion of notable cases of misuse of the therapy, along with notable cases? There are cases, such as famed Bebop pianist Bud Powell, who have had treatment that in hindsight was quite detrimental to the individual in the long term.Dogru144 (talk) 08:41, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
