Administering Brain Stimulation Technologies Across Different Phenotypes

Please note that Temidola experienced some audio issues during this recording. In this episode, Oakley and Temidola speak with Dr. Gianna Perez, a neuroscientist and medical writer, about what happens when the tools used to study and stimulate the brain don't work equally well for everyone. Drawing on her research interviewing TMS and tDCS administrators, she walks us through what phenotypic bias looks like in practice, how hair type, hair texture, and other physical features create real challenges in research settings, and what those challenges mean for the people in the chair.
