    Description

    tACS-Challenge – an introduction to transcranial alternating current stimulation

    In this two-day (hands-on) course, you will learn what transcranial alternating current stimulation (abbreviated tACS) is, how it exerts its effects in the brain, and what theories have been established. We will discuss safety and ethical aspects as well as different settings and parameters for planning a study. In addition, we will practice in various exercises how to prepare a measurement, how to model the distribution of the current in the brain, how to handle participants and how to apply the electrodes to each other.

    The workshop will conclude on the second day with a written exam (45min), which will be the basis for their grade in the course.

    Please note that this course contains exercises that require volunteers to be available as exercise subjects.
