Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Engineering
  • Medicine

Background:

  • A meeting convened by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research brought together experts to address critical issues in transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
  • Discussions focused on current research challenges, future directions, and the application of hormesis theory to tDCS.
  • Ethical and safety considerations were emphasized for both healthy and clinical populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present expert opinions on promising research avenues in tDCS.
  • To outline immediate and long-term goals for the field.
  • To explore the potential of hormesis theory in guiding tDCS research.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of expert opinions from a multidisciplinary research meeting.
  • Review of existing literature and ongoing trials in tDCS.
  • Consideration of insights from related energy-based therapies.

Main Results:

  • tDCS shows promise for enhancing vigilance and attention in healthy individuals, potentially accelerating training and learning.
  • tDCS is commonly used adjunctively in training and rehabilitation to improve learning/treatment effect curves.
  • Elucidating tDCS mechanisms through biomarkers (neuroimaging, animal models) and computational dosimetry is crucial for validation and adoption.

Conclusions:

  • Ongoing tDCS research is supported by scientific, medical, and ethical considerations, emphasizing safety and best protocols.
  • Biomarkers and optimized dosimetry are essential for guiding individualized tDCS interventions and reducing variability.
  • Leveraging insights from other applied energy domains can prudently advance tDCS research and application.
