Hello, I just found out about these neuromodulation techniques yesterday and I thought it may interest some of you guys. There are two main types: tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) and tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation). I recommend you to look them both up, but basically the tDCS device sends 1-3mA of current to certain areas of your brain using electrodes, whereas the tACS device sends specific frequencies (range: around 0-100Hz) to certain areas (also using electrodes). There are devices called tES (transcranial electrical stimulator) that combines both tDCS and tACS functionality. There is one on Amazon for 160$ USD.
I've always wanted to do at-home science experiments lol, I bought a tDCS device yesterday off Ebay yesterday for around 70$ USD (including shipping). I thought it was worth a try. I think I'll also log my data and try to make some sort of outcome report from it (we are the only guinea pig we have). Oh also final note: for anxiety/stress, vagus nerve self-massage can be helpful. There are plenty of videos on it on YouTube.
Example: here's a screenshot of what ChatGPT says on tACS's potential effects for OCD:
