Slow theta tACS of the right parietal cortex enhances contralateral visual working memory capacity10/15/2021 Bender, Monika, Vincenzo Romei, and Paul Sauseng. 2019. 'Slow theta tACS of the right parietal cortex enhances contralateral visual working memory capacity', Brain topography, 32: 477-81.
Summary: The brain is wired such that the right side of the brain processes the left side of space. Bender et al. delivered slow theta frequency tACS focally to the right hemisphere during a working memory task. Visual items to be encoded into memory are presented in the left or right visual field. Participants that received slow theta to the right parietal cortex showed increased working memory capacity only for memory items on the left visual field. Pros:

AuthorsEvery week, there are new and exciting scientific papers published on studies that investigated tACS. Reading and understanding these papers unfortunately requires both access to (sometimes quite expensive) scientific journals and in-depth "insider knowledge." Our goal is to share with you brief summaries of tACS studies that give you a big-picture idea of what the publications are about. There are too many studies to feature all of them but we will continuously update this page. If you have a specific study you would like to get featured, please contact us. The contributors are personnel from the Frohlich Lab and the Carolina Center for Neurostimulation. ArchivesCategories |
