No interaction between tDCS current strength and baseline performance: a conceptual replication [PDF]
Several recent studies have reported non-linear effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which has been attributed to an interaction between the stimulation parameters (e.g., current strength, duration) and the neural state of the ...
