Alternating Current Stimulation for Essential Tremor
… neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid. Current treatments for essential tremor are largely unappealing to patients due to either being invasive (surgical), ineffective, and/or causing severe side effects. Previous studies on the impact of ACS in tremor are limited in number and lack a …

The entrainment of brain oscillations through transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) delivered at off-peak frequencies.
… oscillations can become entrained to rhythmic stimulation. Four studies were conducted to investigate the possibility of modulating endogenous frequency peaks, through entrainment, from stimulation delivered at off-peak frequencies. Study 1 utilised EEG recordings to establish whether off-peak …

Do somatosensory oscillations relate to tactile attention? Extracting the phase of transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) during stimulus presentation.
… information is processed. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a non-‐invasive brain stimulation method that involves the application of weak electric currents to the scalp. tACS provides the ability to entrain intrinsic oscillations to specific frequencies. Through …

Transcranial alternating current stimulation to areas associated with the human mirror neuron system reveals modulation to mu-suppression and corresponding behaviour
… reflect other neuronal processes. Therefore, the current thesis was designed to establish more direct and causal evidence for the use of EEG in indicating hMNS-related activity through the use of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). This was achieved in six experiments; the first …

Delineating the Neural Correlates of Visual Awareness through the Integration of Multimodal Neuroimaging and Noninvasive Electrical Neuromodulation
… the feasibility of using transcranial direct/alternating current stimulation to modulate behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of rivalry and visual perception in general. Our findings point to the existence of multiple neural networks operating independently during rivalry for its …

Neuronal Network Oscillations in the Control of Human Movement
… (M1) using frequency-specific transcranial alternating current stimulation. No significant effects of stimulation were found on participant response times. However, no clear conclusion could be drawn due to limitations of the stimulation parameters that were used. In Chapter 5, I explored …
