Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of brain stimulation on the skull using direct tDCS electric current on working memory and severity of depression symptoms.Method:The present study is a semi-experimental, pretest-post test with control group. In this study, Tdcs brain electrical stimulation therapy was performed on the experimental group and compared to the control group that did not receive any treatment. Each experimental group consisted of 16 experimental groups and 16 control group who were matched according to age, sex, and education and were randomly assigned to the groups.Brain electrical stimulation was performed for 10 sessions and each session was performed for 20 minutes in the experimental group and repeated repeatedly after 4 weeks. At the end of the post-test, both groups were tested and tested. Findings: Analysis of data obtained by using covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between two groups in working memory and depression (P Conclusion:According to the results, it seems that brain stimulation It can improve working memory and severity of depression symptoms. It can be used as an effective treatment.

Introduction: The main objective of this study was the assessment of neurofeedback and neuro-biofeedback training’s efficacy in decreasing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder’s symptoms. Method: This study was a quasi-experimental one with pre-test and post-test plan. The sample included 12 OCD patients who were randomly selected. The research instrument was Madzly Inventory. First the subjects had pre-test and then, they were randomly placed in three groups: Two experimental groups who had Neurofeedback or Neuro-biofeedback training, and one control group who only received medicine. The experimental groups had 30 treatment sessions for 10 weeks. In order to analyze the data, the covariance multivariate analysis was used. Findings: The results showed significant changes in symptoms’ reduction of OCD in neurofeedback training group in comparison to the control group (p
