Competencies: ++ Neuropsychological / neurophysiological knowledge ++ experimental methods + statistics & scientific programming + scientific literature + ethics / good scientific practice / professional behaviour |
Modulinhalte | In this module, we will introduce the theoretical concepts, neurophysiological underpinnings and neurocognitive as well as clinical applications of various non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS). A focus will be tACS, because it is especially suited to modulate brain oscillations which have been shown to correlate with cognitive processes. Part 1: Introduction to transcranial brain stimulation (lecture): summer
Part 2: Effects of tACS on physiology and cognition (seminar): summer
