abstract
Background:Non-invasive brain stimulation is being increasingly used to interrogate neurophysiology
and modulate brain function. Despite the high scientific and therapeutic potential of non-invasive brain
stimulation, experience in the developing brain has been limited.
Objective:To determine the safety and tolerability of non-invasive neurostimulation in children across
diverse modalities of stimulation and pediatric populations.
Methods:A non-invasive brain stimulation program was established in 2008 at our pediatric, academic
institution. Multi-disciplinar
