dc.description.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.	en_US
