Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques can modulate cognitive processing [PDF]
Recent methods that allow a noninvasive modulation of brain activity are able to modulate human cognitive behavior. Among these methods are transcranial electric stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation that both come in multiple variants.

“Broadband Alpha Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation”: Exploring a new biologically calibrated brain stimulation protocol [PDF]
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can be used to study causal contributions of oscillatory brain mechanisms to cognition and behavior. For instance, individual alpha frequency (IAF) tACS was reported to enhance alpha power and impact visuospatial attention performance.

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 ...

Midfrontal theta transcranial alternating current stimulation modulates behavioural adjustment after error execution [PDF]
Cognitive control during conflict monitoring, error processing, and post-error adjustment appear to be associated with the occurrence of midfrontal theta (MFϴ).

Concurrent Electroencephalography Recording During Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) [PDF]
Oscillatory brain activities are considered to reflect the basis of rhythmic changes in transmission efficacy across brain networks and are assumed to integrate cognitive neural processes. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) holds the promise to elucidate the causal link between specific frequencies of oscillatory brain activity and ...

Neurosensory Effects of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation
Electrical brain stimulation can elicit neurosensory side effects that are unrelated to the intended stimulation effects. This presents a challenge when designing studies with blinded control conditions.The aim of this research was to investigate the role of different transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) parameters, i.e.

Modulating brain oscillations to drive brain function [PDF]
Do neuronal oscillations play a causal role in brain function? In a study in this issue of PLOS Biology, Helfrich and colleagues address this long-standing question by attempting to drive brain oscillations using transcranial electrical current ...

Effects of alternating current stimulation on the healthy and diseased brain
Cognitive and neurological dysfunctions can severely impact a patient’s daily activities. In addition to medical treatment, non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has been proposed as a therapeutic technique to improve the ...
