Increased lifespan is one of society\'s greatest achievements, but this longevity increases the prevalence of diseases of aging, such as neurological disorders. Globally, neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of deaths (Feigin et al., 2019). Furthermore, these diseases affect people in low-, medium-, and high-income countries (Feigin et al., 2019). Current technology to modify neurological burden is scarce, which poses numerous challenges for healthcare, global policy, and economic stability (Feigin et al., 2019). To face these challenges, brain stimulation technology, such as transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), has displayed exciting potential. Antal et al. (2017) provide a detailed overview of the safety and application of TES.
