Cognitive Enhancement Through Model-based and Individualized Neurostimulation

Transcranial electrical stimulation, known as tES, refers to a family of devices that utilize low-cost technologies and involve low-intensity currents which are safe for humans, and carry minimal risk of side effects or adverse events. Conventional approaches, which utilize fixed direct currents (tDCS) or alternating currents at a fixed oscillatory frequency (tACS), have been widely used as both a basic research tool and as a clinical intervention. In the current project, we use a custom-built device that enables near real-time current modulation triggered digitally, via software control, to allow for stimulation protocols guided by whole-brain individualized neural modeling.
