Abstract #113: Individualized Modeling for Subjects with Primary Progressive Aphasia

Introduction: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that has shown promise in a multitude of rehabilitation protocols, e.g. motor and speech, as well as cognitive enhancement. However, anatomical variability is known to influence both the intensity and spatial focality of tDCS in healthy subjects and especially in stroke lesioned subjects. Subjects with progressive brain atrophy are potential candidates for many tDCS applications, but few studies have quantified this subject population's anatomical influence on induced cortical electric fields.
