United States San Francisco Halo neuroscience announced that there are already at least 5 players using this brain stimulation techniques, stimulation, when athletes in training, wearing a special helmet, internal electrodes can be entered to the motor cortex of the brain weak current of 1.5 to 2 MA to enhance the brain's ability to adapt to the training.

5名奥运选手尝试大脑激励技术：尚未被判定使用兴奋剂 - 里约奥运会,兴奋剂 - IT资讯
IT资讯讯 8月6日消息，奥运会中最重大丑闻往往来自于“XX运动员被查出使用兴奋剂”，而今天是里约奥运会开幕第一天，却有消息报道称，有运动员在备赛训练中使用了一种大脑激励的技术，而这种技术尚未被列为兴奋剂，也存在争议。
美国旧金山光环神经科学公司宣布，目前已经有至少5名运动员使用了这种大脑激励技术，进行刺激训练，运动员在训练的时候戴上一种特制的头盔，内部电极可给大脑运动皮层输入1.5至2毫安的微弱电流，提升大脑适应训练的能力。
目前已知的5名使用这种技术的运动员包括：特立尼达和多巴哥共和国100米跨栏运动员迈克尔·托马斯；塞拉利昂100米短跑选手哈弗萨图·卡马拉；美国男子400米跨栏运动员迈克尔·汀斯利；美国4×100米接力运动员迈克·罗杰斯以及美国现代五项运动员萨曼莎·艾克特博格。
效果如何呢？其中托马斯表示使用了这种技术后，确实能够感觉运动更加流畅了，身体和大脑协调地更好，而卡马拉使用后直接破了自己的纪录。目前尚不知道这是不是只是心理作用。
让人纠结的是，目前世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）还没有禁止这种技术，因为他们也无法确定这种技术到底有没有实际的效用。
