Resumen de Transcranial Direct Current Stimulatio (tDCS) and Transcranial Current Alterning Stimulation (tACS) Review

Marisol Rodríguez Ugarte, Nadia Sciacca, José María Azorín Poveda

• This literature review is aimed to explore the main technical characteristics of both transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternate current stimulation (tACS) using the latest research on both healthy and impaired subjects. These techniques have no official standards developed yet. Our intent is to underline the main properties and problems linked with the application of those techniques which show diverse, and sometimes even opposite, results depending mainly on electrode positioning and underlying brain activity.
