"What is emotion?" is probably not needed as it is very broad and better covered elsewhere - provide a brief description and embedded links to other book chapter(s) and/or Wikipedia article(s) so that this chapter can concentrate on neurostimulation and emotion
Consider expanding the 2nd and 3rd level heading structure

Hi, thank you for writing the chapter on neurostimulation and emotion. I was particularly interested in the non-invasive modulation section. In this section, "transcutaneous magnetic stimulation" is mentioned, although, I think you may be referring to "transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on the section below that ("disorders that can be treated through neurostimulation"). From brief research, transcutaneous stimulation appears to be useful in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, rather than psychological disorders. It may be beneficial to review this section. Although, more clarity may be provided as you develop this section past dot points.
To assist with the development, I have found a meta-analysis that may provide you with additional information on transcranial magnetic stimulation and its efficacy with a multitude of disorders. Most articles focus exclusively on depression, whereas Cirillo et al., (2019) expand to anxiety and other trauma-related disorders.
Another article that may be helpful to further explore the similarities and differences between transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and TMS is this literature review by Ando et al., (2021). This explores the specific brain regions utilised during emotion and impacted during modulation.

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
However, there is too much general content. Instead, focus on psychological theory and research which is more directly related to the topic (How can neurostimulation affect emotion?).
The key content is around 2 min - 2 and a half mins. Expand this part by about 4 times.
The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory.
The presentation makes little to no use of relevant psychological research.
The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice.
Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
Consider improving articulation to enhance the clarity of speech.
Audio recording quality was good.
The narrated content is partially matched to the target topic (see #Content).
The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A written description of the presentation is provided.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
Links to and from the book chapter are provided.
A link to the book chapter is provided.
A link to the book chapter is provided but it goes to a specific section rather than the top of the chapter.
A link from the book chapter is provided.
The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This introduces limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. # No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Excellent use of image(s).
Basic use of table(s).
Very good use of feature box(es).
No use of quiz(zes).
Good use of case studies or examples. For the case study, perhaps add that medication was tried without much success (or is also being used) before moving to neurostimulation. Maybe also describe a neurostimulation session for Aciel in more detail.
Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
Good use of external links in the "External links" section.
