This lecture discusses when to use tDCS and how to plan a basic tDCS 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 tDCS is an appropriate tool, and select the appropriate protocols and design for a tDCS study.

Topics covered in this lesson
  • Discussion on when to use Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and planning basic tDCS studies.
  • Explore optimization of protocol aspects (montage, polarity, frequency, duration, intensity) and study design (population, controls) for research or clinical outcomes.
  •
