Transcranial direct current stimulation in Alzheimer's disease
… results from the clinical trials related to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) into a machine learning model of the disease to understand the long term impact of the treatment on disease progression over a decade. The three main contributions …

No tDCS Augmented Working Memory Training Benefit in Undergraduates Rewarded with Course Credit
… to expand capacity of this executive function. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) paired with WM training is more consistent than either alone. We have reported that tDCS targeting frontal and/or parietal regions enhanced theta phase locking, reduced alpha power, and strengthened …

Direct current stimulation modulates LTP and LTD: activity-dependence and dendritic effects
<p>Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been reported to improve various forms of learning in humans. Stimulation is often applied during training, producing lasting enhancements that are specific to the learned task. These learning effects are thought be mediated by altered synaptic …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Does Not Improve Handgrip Time-to-Failure or Alter Central or Peripheral Hemodynamics
… impact motor function and performance. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been linked to improvements in the neuromuscular system. The purpose of this study was to determine if tDCS delivered to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) would improve handgrip …

Translational Modeling of Non-Invasive Electrical Stimulation
… effect of low amplitude non-invasive electrical stimulation in people using neurophysiological measures (motor evoked potentials, MEPs). Clinical applications of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) have since proliferated, though the mechanisms are not fully understood. Efforts to …

Minimally invasive neuromodulation using mechanically-sensitive ion channels and magnetically-actuated nanotransducers
… interventions and noninvasive techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have limitations in specificity and penetration depth. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), while effective, is invasive and carries surgical risks. This thesis …

The Effects of tDCS on the Identification of Emotion in a Speaker’s Voice in Young Adults with Autism
… evidence suggests that noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can improve some cognitive functions, including skills contributing to social communication, such as working memory, executive function, and auditory processing. One promising intervention uses transcranial direct current …

Enhancement of verb retrieval: Neuromodulation, repetition priming, and aphasia rehabilitation
… individuals with aphasia), and neuromodulation (transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS). The data in this thesis indicate that, in healthy individuals, language facilitation by repetition priming reflects changes in implicit processing of stimuli (at the level of lexical retrieval), and …

The Role of the DLPFC in Bilingual and Monolingual Switching: Evidence from MVPA and tDCS
… involved in these two types of control. The current studies had two aims. The first was to determine whether bilingual language control and non-linguistic control relate similarly to the DLPFC, and the second was to determine whether bilinguals and monolinguals differed in this relationship. …

Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation and the Enhancement of Working Memory
… debated area of cognitive research is the use of transcranial current stimulation, specifically transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), as a cognition enhancer. The present study seeks to address three questions: (1) is there a separate working memory system for music distinct from verbal …

Finite Element Study of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: customization of models and montages
<p>Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that applies low amplitude current via electrodes placed on the scalp. Rather than directly eliciting a neuronal response, tDCS is believed to modulate excitability – encouraging or suppressing activity in …

Sparking controversy : the contested use of noninvasive brain stimulation
My dissertation examines the controversy over transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a noninvasive form of brain stimulation that is thought to provide a constant low level of electrical current to the brain. Although scientists have been experimenting with tDCS in both healthy and …
