A new perspective for evaluating the efficacy of <scp>tACS</scp> and <scp>tDCS</scp> in improving executive functions: A combined <scp>tES</scp> and <scp>fNIRS</scp> study

Abstract

Enhancement of executive function was observed after tES, and the beneficial effects of tACS/tDCS may need to be precisely evaluated via brain imaging indicators at rest. tDCS revealed better neural benefits than tACS during the stimulation phase. These findings might provide new insights for selecting intervention methods in future studies and for evaluating the clinical efficacy of tES.
