Theta power

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation has no effect on theta power in humans.

    “we found no evidence that atDCS modulated task-related theta or alpha power”

1 study
  1. Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation has no effect on cognitive function in humans.

    “no significant stimulation effects emerged in either group”

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation increases FOOOF exponent in humans.

    “aperiodic activity (FOOOF exponent) increased after atDCS, particularly in older adults”
