Abstract:
Selectively attending to a subset of information coming is an integral process to
navigate or to do any task in the real world. Endogenous neural oscillations play a role
in selective attention. This project seeks to test the role of 40 Hz oscillatory non-invasive
brain stimulation (tACS) and study the changes in the behaviour due to the stimulation.
We quantified the effects of stimulation for changing the behaviour performance in
attention tasks. We also discovered different effects upon stimulating different
hemispheres of the brain. Our findings pave the way for using non-invasive brain
stimulation strategies like tACS for treating clinical disorders like ADHD.
