The modern field of brain stimulation owes much to the American Robert Bartholow (sometimes also referred to as Roberts Bartholow [4]), who was one of the first to report the effects of electrical current stimulation to the cortex in conscious humans [1]. He was therefore an important pioneer in translating bioelectricity research from animals to humans. …
