Dr. Roy Hamilton, Director of Penn’s brainSTIM Center, was asked by Maiken Scott, host of the WHYY health and science podcast The Pulse, to participate in a presentation and discussion at a Sunday Breakfast Club event on November 6, 2024. The Sunday Breakfast Club Philadelphia (which meets neither for breakfast nor on Sunday), is an organization where “Philadelphia’s leaders gather to learn from one another and share ideas to make the city soar”. Jeffry Alfaro, a clinical research coordinator within the LCNS, prepared Ms. Scott to receive tDCS stimulation live on stage during the event, while Dr. Hamilton and Ms. Scott discussed electrical brain stimulation techniques and uses. Two other area scientists also participated in the event, followed by a Q&A session for all of the scientists.
