Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Neurostimulation

Background:

  • Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is explored for enhancing visuospatial working memory (vsWM).
  • Key challenges include determining optimal stimulation frequencies, the scope of behavioral effects, and anatomical precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of two distinct tACS protocols on vsWM and related cognitive functions.
  • To analyze behavioral and electroencephalogram (EEG) changes associated with different tACS frequencies and targeting.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty adults underwent three high-definition tACS (HD-tACS) conditions: individually tuned frequency, fixed 4 Hz, and sham.
  • Participants performed vsWM, mental rotation, and arithmetic tasks during stimulation.
  • Resting-state EEG was recorded before and after each condition to assess brain activity and synchrony.

Main Results:

  • The individually tuned tACS protocol significantly improved vsWM and mental rotation performance compared to sham stimulation.
  • The fixed 4 Hz protocol did not yield significant behavioral improvements.
  • Increased frontoparietal synchrony was observed with tuned tACS and correlated with enhanced performance.

Conclusions:

  • Personalized tACS, tuned to individual theta peak frequencies, enhances right frontoparietal network synchrony.
  • This neurostimulation approach improves performance on visuospatial tasks, offering insights into spatial cognition and targeted brain stimulation strategies.
