#2Seems pretty cool. I've heard great things about deep brain stimulation and how it is the SOTA for many neurological disorders. It has
actual experiments in humans instead of rodents. And the humans are healthy adults too!
So it ticks all boxes for me as an amature enthusiast for a potential 'enhance my cognition' method. I wonder, where the catch?

The catch with deep brain stimulation currently is that it's only SOTA for implanted electrodes, meaning it's incredibly expensive, and while DBS implantation is very safe for a brain surgery, it's still a brain surgery. tTIS is very investigational and neuromodulatory focused ultrasound is still quite a bit away from clinical applications. (Ablative focused ultrasound is FDA approved, but that's only for very specific indications.) There's also the Brainsway H series TMS coils that claim to stimulate deep structures, but the activation of large amounts of cortical tissue makes the claim a little hard to verify.

There’s always a catch even when you exercise there is a catch somewhere

#8Does this relate to tDCS (Transcranial direct current stimulation)? I heard this is also good for enhancing learning.

No; this is a different noninvasive technology.

tDCS is (as the name indicates) a constant current, whereas it looks like the temporal interference (TI) technique has two oscillating channels tuned for targeting deeper brain regions:
>TI stimulation is a novel brain stimulation strategy that employs two or more independent stimulation channels delivering HF currents (oscillating at f1 and f1 + Δf) within the kHz range, which are assumed to be inert in terms of inducing neuronal activity6,82. The two currents generate a modulated electric field, with the envelope oscillating at the low-frequency Δf (target frequency) where the currents join or cross. The peak of the envelope amplitude can be steered toward target areas located deeper in the brain by tuning the electrode position and current ratio across stimulation channels
