Variability in non-invasive brain stimulation studies: reasons and results [PDF]
, 2018 Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS), such as Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS), Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), are widely used to probe plasticity in the human motor cortex (M1). Although

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation of the Cerebellum in Emotion
, 2022 Transcranial magnetic and direct current stimulation are non-invasive brain stimulation techniques that are used to investigate cerebellar functions in healthy and clinical populations. These approaches allow transient modulation of neural excitability of the human cerebellar cortex to directly examine phenomenological, behavioral, and physiological ...

Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Neglect Rehabilitation: An Update [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Here, we review the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the rehabilitation of neglect. We found 12 studies including 172 patients (10 TMS studies and 2 tDCS studies) fulfilling our search criteria.

Multiple sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation to the intact hemisphere improves visual function after unilateral ablation of visual cortex [PDF]
, 2013 Damage to cerebral systems is frequently followed by the emergence of compensatory mechanisms, which serve to reduce the effects of brain damage and allow recovery of function. Intrinsic recovery, however, is rarely complete.

The efficacy of transcranial current stimulation techniques to modulate resting-state EEG, to affect vigilance and to promote sleepiness [PDF]
, 2018 Transcranial Current Stimulations (tCSs) are non-invasive brain stimulation techniques which modulate cortical excitability and spontaneous brain activity by the application of weak electric currents through the scalp, in a safe, economic, and well ...
