PlatoWork

PlatoScience offers the PlatoWork headset, a device utilizing transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) technology. This non-invasive neuromodulation technique supports neurological change by enhancing neuroplasticity. The device delivers a microcurrent to specific brain regions, potentially improving mood, attention, motor control, and cognitive functions. It is designed for use at home or under professional supervision, making it accessible for personal cognitive enhancement.

Scientific evidence supports the effectiveness of tDCS in various applications. For instance, it has been shown to improve symptoms of depression when applied over the left prefrontal cortex. Additionally, tDCS can reduce cravings in addiction disorders, such as those related to alcohol and gambling, when applied over the right prefrontal cortex. It is also used to maintain mental health following successful Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatments.

The PlatoWork headset is not a standalone treatment but a supportive tool to enhance other cognitive interventions. It is classified as a Class I medical device, indicating a high safety profile. The device is user-friendly, allowing individuals to follow instructions via the PlatoApp, and is suitable for both personal and professional use.
