By the form of electricity, would it be possible to change brain chemistry without using the procedures of ECT?
For instance, I would think in this day and age we could make a device that one would touch (like a doorknob) that could create a similar form of electroshock, only difference being it would travel up to the brain instead of away (reversing what happens in current ECT cases where the brain is electrocuted and the body convulses). The overall purpose would be to have a less intensive treatment option than the electrode-brain contact, perhaps even eliminating the need to create a seizure, and then in the name of sophistication raise the electric shock standard to that of greater accuracy and ease. Does this sound possible? And, if I wanted to evaluate the effects of such, where could I go?
Thanks!
