Multichannel anodal tDCS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in a paediatric population
Abstract Methodological studies investigating transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) in paediatric populations are limited. Therefore, we investigated in a paediatric population whether stimulation success of multichannel tDCS over the lD...
