Can we treat cognitive deficits in schizophrenia through electrical brain stimulation?

Is that similar to TMS? Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

As usual in all scientific reports related sz,there is no stander determination or definition to a whole unity condition which it was called sz ,instead they always describing a group of isolated independent symptoms,they dealing with sz and its problems as a separated parts not as a whole united phenomenon ,therefore there no absolutely any correct awareness for the nature of sz’s nature ,and the result of this knowledge deficits be translated into using a separated treatment methods in order to target separated symptoms !

Look at what they said" the world health organisation (Who)describes it as being characterised by distortion in thinking,perception,emotion and language…etc)
They talk about a symptoms (diagnostic material ) without corresponding root origin -nothing else

The issue does not need to be smart to understand that

Abat, cognitive deficits are symptoms. This is a study on treating that component of sz

In the case,if cognitive deficits are symptoms
It means practically,they are a results outputs of sz not a cause of it !
The question;
Where is the cause,the effect and the mechanisms of effect which they precede existentially the symptoms -and- cause them functionally ?
Rather,what is the cognitive factor responsible for the deficits ?

Originally,the cognitive deficits term in itself including the concept,meaning and connotation does not describe the actual change /disorder or defect that occurring in the personal knowledge background

The traumatic brain injury documentary on Netflix called ‘My Beautiful Broken Brain’ has a real life instance of tDCS assisted cognitive training as part of it. It’s worth a look.

Despite the knowing of the concept,meaning and connotation of the change that has been occurring in the frame / content of self-knowledge is the only available key to the researchers to understanding the actual truth of everything related the health condition be called schizo-phrenia ,specially the non-causal change that occurs in the biochemical background ,

But the definition of therm “cognitive deficits” misleading the correct direction towards the actual realities of the mental processes /feelings that precede the cognition change and cause

All of this because,they ignore the existence of the actual cause ( the things be called hallucinations) and its functional effectiveness on both of the dynamic pathways of electrochemical signals and its interference interaction with the data concept of the cognitive message and misleading it before the timing of personal use of the knowledge message or producing the behavioral responses

In other words,the cognitive factor is represented only in the thing be called hallucination and any change that occur in the personal believes is the result of the functional effect of Hallucination on any personal idea be understood mentally by the mind-brain processes of the person

For example ,look at the definition of the Cause and the Result throughout the terms of (hallucinations ) and (delusions)
1- the hallucinations;perceiving things that do not really exist (this is the effect)
2-the delusions;believing in things that are not true (this is the reaction output),i.e the result
