Establishing safety limits for transcranial direct current stimulation

Establishing safety limits for transcranial direct current stimulation.

The recent resurgence in the use of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for electrotherapy and human cognition studies was motivated by studies demonstrating lasting change in cortico-spinal excitability following tDCS (Priori et al., 1998; Nitsche and Paulus, 2000, 2001) including at the University of Gottingen. Subsequent tDCS studies have largely adapted the Gottingen protocols in...

W6: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Workshop

It is an Intensive 1-day course for introducing utilizing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in an applied format. This technique is a noninvasive brain stimulation that uses direct electrical currents over the head to stimulate specific parts of the brain which modulates neuronal activity. It has strong potentiality in the field of medical and neuroscientific research. Anodal stimu...

Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation

Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation similar to transcranial magnetic stimulation, but instead of using magnets, it uses a lowintensity, constant current applied through scalp electrodes. Generally, anodal stimulation induces an increase of cortical excitability, whereas cathodal stimulation decreases cortical excitability, with effects that...
