The Influence of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation on the Excitability of the Unstimulated Contralateral Primary Motor Cortex

The Influence of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation on the Excitability of the Unstimulated Contralateral Primary Motor Cortex

Objectives: Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can enhance primary motor cortex (M1) excitability and improve motor skill when delivered unilaterally to the dominant hemisphere. However, the impact of tACS on contralateral M1 excitability both during and after application has not be...
