Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: Personalizing the neuromodulation

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2015:2015:234-7. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2015.7318343.

Abstract

The beneficial effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been demonstrated, but the neuroscientific community is working to increase its efficiency. A promising line of advancement may be reducing the inter-individual variability of the response through the personalization of the stimulation, adapted to fit the structural and functional features of individual subjects. In this paper, we approach the personalization of stimulation parameters using modeling, a powerful tool to test montages enabling the optimization of brain's targeting.
