Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) Mechanisms and Protocols [PDF]
Perception, cognition and consciousness can be modulated as a function of oscillating neural activity, while ongoing neuronal dynamics are influenced by synaptic activity and membrane potential. Consequently, transcranial alternating current stimulation (

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation affects decision making [PDF]
Neuromodulation by non-invasive brain stimulation such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has gained relevance among cognitive neuroscience research. This is mainly due to the possibility of inducing reversible facilitatory or inhibitory effects on cognitive processes (Wagner et al., 2007). TMS

Transcranial Alternating Current and Random Noise Stimulation: Possible Mechanisms [PDF]
Background. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a relatively recent method suited to noninvasively modulate brain oscillations. Technically the method is similar but not identical to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS ...

A minimum effective dose for (transcranial) alternating current stimulation
Abstract Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a popular method for non-invasive neuromodulation in human research and therapy. However, what constitutes an effective dose in tACS applications is still a matter of investigation and debate.

Transcranial direct current stimulatio (tDCS) and transcranial current alterning stimulation (tACS) review [PDF]
This literature review is aimed to explore the main technical characteristics of both transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternate current stimulation (tACS) using the latest research on both healthy and impaired subjects. These techniques have no official standards developed yet.

Entrainment of Brain Oscillations by Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation [PDF]
Novel methods for neuronal entrainment [1-4] provide the unique opportunity to modulate perceptually relevant brain oscillations [5, 6] in a frequency-specific manner and to study their functional impact on distinct cognitive functions. Recently, evidence has emerged that tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) can modulate cortical ...

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Attenuates Neuronal Adaptation [PDF]
We previously showed that brief application of 2 mA (peak-to-peak) transcranial currents alternating at 10 Hz significantly reduces motion adaptation in humans. This is but one of many behavioral studies showing that weak currents applied to the scalp modulate neural processing.

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) as a Treatment for Insomnia
ABSTRACT:We investigated the effects of transcranial alternating stimulation (tACS) in patients with insomnia. Nine patients with chronic insomnia underwent two in-laboratory polysomnography, 2 weeks apart, and were randomized to receive tACS either during the first or second study.
