Protocols and effects - TES: tACS
Protocols and effects - TES: tACS
This lecture discusses when to use tACS and how to plan a basic tACS study. The goal of the lecture is to discuss how different aspects of a protocol (montage, polarity, frequency, duration, intensity etc.) and study design (population, controls etc.) can be optimized to tackle a research question or to achieve a desired clinical outcome.
At the end of this lecture, students will be able to identify applications and research questions for which tACS is an appropriate tool, and select the appropriate protocols and design for a tACS study.
Topics covered in this lesson
- Discussion on when to use Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) and planning basic tACS studies.
- Explore optimization of protocol aspects (montage, polarity, frequency, duration, intensity) and study design (population, controls) for research or clinical outcomes.
