​⚡ Welcome to the new world of non-invasive brain stimulation treatment.

​Join us at Faight Collective for a conversation with Stanford researcher Dr. Dan McCalley as he shares groundbreaking work on non-invasive brain stimulation, a promising new approach to treating addiction in the San Francisco Bay Area.

​Addiction remains a massive public health challenge, with existing treatments often falling short and relapse rates remaining high. Dr. McCalley will introduce Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a targeted, non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to change brain activity and reduce addictive behaviors.

​In this talk, you’ll learn how nearly a decade of research is unlocking personalized treatments guided by brain imaging, offering new hope for recovery where traditional methods have struggled. Whether you’re curious about neuroscience, public health, or innovative solutions, this lecture offers fresh insight into how science is changing the future of addiction treatment.

​Come for the science, stay for the hope, and leave inspired by the possibilities of healing. ⚡🧠
