No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate different stimulation intensities and frequencies of transcranial direct and alternating current stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for cognitive improvement in schizophrenia.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

In tDCS, direct electrical currents at the intensity of interest (2 mA for example) are generated by an electrical stimulator and are noninvasively delivered to the scalp through a pair of saline-soaked sponge electrodes (7×5 cm).

DEVICE

transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS)

In tACS, alternating electrical currents at the frequency of interest (8 Hz for example) are generated by an electrical stimulator and are noninvasively delivered to the scalp through a pair of saline-soaked sponge electrodes (7×5 cm).
