From oscillatory transcranial current stimulation to scalp EEG changes: a biophysical and physiological modeling study.

Both biophysical and neurophysiological aspects need to be considered to assess the impact of electric fields induced by transcranial current stimulation (tCS) on the cerebral cortex and the subsequent effects occurring on scalp EEG. The objective of this work was to elaborate a global model allowin...
