Use of human invasive SEEG and non-invasive EEG recordingsin vivo towards tDCS dose individualization

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a type of non-invasive neuromodulatory rehabilitative therapy that has been the focus of many recent studies in a variety of disease conditions, e.g., stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), depression, etc. However, one hurdle for success is the variability in behavioral outcomes across different subjects. One reason for such inter-individual variability is differences in tDCS-generated electric fields (EF) inside the brain of each subject and thus the resulting tDCS-modulated neural activity.
