Electrode positioning errors reduce current dose for focal tDCS set-ups: Evidence from individualized electric field mapping

CONCLUSIONS: Precise positioning is crucial when using focal tDCS set-ups to avoid significant reductions of current dose in the intended target regions.SIGNIFICANCE: Our results highlight the urgent need to routinely implement methods for improving electrode positioning, minimization of electrode drift, verification of electrode positions before and/or after tDCS and also to consider positioning errors when investigating dose-response relationships, especially for focal set-ups.PMID:38643613 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.031
