Rational Optimization of tACS for Targeting Thalamo-Cortical Oscillations (Experiment 2)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating XCSITE100 Stimulator tACS and XCSITE100 Stimulator Sham for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) is one method that has been demonstrated to enhance alpha oscillations in healthy participants by applying weak electrical currents to the scalp to modulate rhythmic brain activity patterns. This study will involve tACS-induced frontal alpha oscillations, EEG recordings, and other physiological and biological measures.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a method of noninvasive brain stimulation in which weak electrical current are applied to the scalp in a sine wave pattern to induce cortical oscillations at the frequency at which they are applied.
The participant will receive up to one minute of tACS stimulation until the stimulation fades. Sham stimulation mimics the skin sensations a participant would experience during a tACS session.
