Background Brain stimulation is a technique that can guide brain plasticity and thus be
suitable to treat chronic pain—a disorder that is associated with substantial reorganisation of …

Cortical excitability changes induced by tDCS and revealed by TMS, are increasingly being
used as an index of neuronal plasticity in the human cortex. The aim of this paper is to …

Transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS) induces stimulation polarity-dependent neuroplastic
excitability shifts in the human brain. Because it accomplishes long-lasting effects and its …

OBJECTIVES: Interest in transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in clinical practice has
been growing, however, the knowledge about its efficacy and mechanisms of action remains …

Studies have shown increased risk taking in healthy individuals after low-frequency
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, known to transiently suppress cortical …

Brain stimulation techniques provide a powerful means to modulate the function of specific
neural structures, and show potential for future applications in the rehabilitation of stroke …

As adult humans, we are continuously faced with decisions in which proper weighing of the
risk involved is critical. Excessively risky or overly cautious decision making can both have …

Neuromuscular fatigue is the exercise‐dependent decrease in the ability of muscle fibres to
generate force. To investigate whether manipulation of brain excitability by transcranial …

Stimulation with weak electrical direct currents has been shown to be capable of inducing
stimulation‐polarity‐dependent prolonged diminutions or elevations of cortical excitability …

Methods and devices for automatically optimizing the stimulus parameters and/or the
configuration of electrodes to provide neural stimulation to a patient. In one embodiment, a …
