High- (?5Hz), but not low-frequency (?1Hz) rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) of the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1) can induce transient analgesic effects [5]. However, impact TMS frequency and pulse number remains poorly understood may present an opportunity to optimise efficacy promote long-term effects. Prior work indicated that a single session consisting 2,000, 50...

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 stimulation has been shown to improve perception, learning, and a range of clinical symptoms. Few studie...

A transcranial channel is an interface between the skull and brain; it consists of a biocompatible and highly conductive material that helps convey the current induced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the target area. However, it has been proposed only conceptually, and there has been no concrete study of its efficacy. In this work, we conducted a computational investigation...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Language training success in chronic aphasia remains only moderate. Electric brain stimulation may be a viable way to enhance treatment efficacy. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled crossover trial, we assessed if anodal transcranial direct current stimulation compared to cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation and sham stimulation over the r...
