Figure 1 Ethics of using non-invasive brain stimulation in children. The usage of non-invasive brain stimulation in children to improve psychological functions raises many important scientific and ethical questions, such as: Which is the appropriate brain area to be stimulated? What is the effect of brain stimulation on the developing brain? Is there a possibility that cognitive enhancement of some abilities occurs at a cost to others? Might there be currently unknown safety issues and potential hazards at the psychological level and physiological level? The current picture is for demonstration purposes only. We discuss what necessary steps are needed in order to allow typically and atypically developing children to benefit from the usage of non-invasive brain stimulation.
