Phase of transcranial alternating current stimulation modulates working memory processing speed

This study shows that prefrontal theta-tACS modulates working memory reaction times in a phase-dependent manner, even when overall behavioral effects are not significant.

Mapping long-term memory modulation with transcranial alternating current stimulation

This study maps the effects of transcranial alternating current stimulation on long-term memory by analyzing 20 studies and modeling electric fields to identify frequency- and site-specific modulation patterns.

Abnormal mu rhythm state-related cortical and corticospinal responses in chronic stroke

This study examines phase-dependent motor cortex excitability in stroke survivors using EEG and TMS, finding similar patterns to healthy adults but with reduced phase preference in those with more severe motor symptoms.

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation can disrupt or reestablish neural entrainment in a primate model of Parkinson's disease

This study investigates how tACS affects neural entrainment in a primate model of Parkinson's disease, finding that it can both disrupt and reestablish beta-band oscillations depending on stimulation parameters.

State dependent motor cortex stimulation reveals distinct mechanisms for corticospinal excitability and cortical responses

This study investigates how neural oscillation phases affect corticospinal excitability and cortical responses during TMS, finding phase-dependent effects on TEP components and MEPs.

Electrophysiological correlates of (mis)judging social information

This study investigates how ERP components like P2 and P3 are modulated by misjudging social information validity during decision-making tasks with conflicting advice cues.

Intensity- and frequency-specific effects of transcranial alternating current stimulation are explained by network dynamics

This study uses a computational model to show that tACS effects depend on intensity and frequency through non-linear entrainment and network dynamics.

Dissociation of direct and peripheral transcranial magnetic stimulation effects in nonhuman primates

This study investigates the direct and peripheral effects of TMS in non-human primates using invasive recordings, showing dose-dependent responses and spatial specificity.

Induced neural phase precession through exogeneous electric fields

This study shows that alternating current stimulation induces phase precession and synaptic plasticity in humans and non-human primates, providing causal evidence for its role in neuroplasticity.

A minimum effective dose for (transcranial) alternating current stimulation

This study determines the minimum effective dose for transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) by analyzing literature data and finding that 0.3 mV/mm in awake mammals induces significant neural effects with 80% probability.

The phase of sensorimotor mu and beta oscillations has the opposite effect on corticospinal excitability

This study investigates how the phase of mu and beta oscillations in the motor cortex affects corticospinal excitability using phase-specific transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Effects of theta transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on exploration and exploitation during uncertain decision-making

This study investigates how theta tACS affects perceived uncertainty and risk-taking behavior during decision-making, finding increased uncertainty but no direct effect on exploration.

Causal neural mechanisms of context-based object recognition

The paper investigates the neural mechanisms of context-based object recognition using TMS experiments, finding that scene-selective cortex supports recognition earlier than object-selective cortex.

Cognitive functions and underlying parameters of human brain physiology are associated with chronotype

The paper investigates how chronotype affects brain physiology and cognition, finding enhanced motor learning and cognitive performance at circadian-preferred times with associated physiological changes.

Identifying regions in prefrontal cortex related to working memory improvement: a novel meta-analytic method using electric field modeling

This paper identifies lower dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as key for tDCS-induced working memory improvement using a novel meta-analytic method correlating electric field strength with performance.

Causal evidence for a double dissociation between object- and scene-selective regions of visual cortex: A pre-registered TMS replication study

This study replicates and confirms a double dissociation between object- and scene-selective regions in visual cortex using TMS, showing LOC impairs object recognition and OPA impairs scene recognition.
