2 Transcranial electric stimulation (TES) The TES technique (Nitsche et al., 2008; Priori, 2003) involves the application of weak electrical currents (~1-2 mA) directly to the head for several minutes (~5-30 minutes). The stimulation is delivered by a battery-driven current stimulator through a pair of electrodes. These currents generate an electrical field that modulates neuronal activity according to the modality of the application, which can be direct (transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, tDCS), random noise (transcranial Random Noise Stimulation, tRNS) or alternating (transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation, tACS). 8441 2018-08-01 17:15:42
