Project

tDCS - transcranial or transcutaneous Direct Current Stimulation

In the PhD project ‘Non-invasive tDCS neuromodulation basic neural mechanisms’, healthy volunteer experiments will be performed to investigate the neuronal mechanisms underpinning observed tDCS motor effects. Understanding the neuronal mechanism and the relative contribution of the transcranial and transcutaneous mechanism, allows a more focused stimulation and more effective neuromodulation technologies without undesired side effects. Furthermore, the non-invasive nature and low-cost of tDCS stimulation enables the development of wearable health devices for clinical or consumer applications.
