Summary

This review explores how event-related potentials (ERPs), event-related oscillations (EROs), and non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), especially transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), interact. ERP-aligned tACS offers new ways to precisely modulate brain activity and cognitive functions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Brain Stimulation

Background:

  • Event-related potentials (ERPs) and event-related oscillations (EROs) are crucial neural correlates of cognitive processes.
  • Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques offer ways to modulate brain activity.
  • Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a prominent NIBS method for influencing neural oscillations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the interplay between ERPs, EROs, and NIBS, with a focus on tACS.
  • To review the application of conventional tACS in modulating specific ERP components.
  • To introduce and discuss the emerging technique of ERP-aligned tACS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on ERPs, EROs, and NIBS.
  • Analysis of studies investigating the effects of tACS on neural oscillations and cognitive performance.
  • Examination of research employing ERP-aligned tACS for targeted neural modulation.

Main Results:

  • tACS effectively modulates neural oscillations and cognitive functions.
  • Conventional tACS can target individual ERP components.
  • ERP-aligned tACS demonstrates potential for optimizing stimulation by synchronizing with neural events.

Conclusions:

  • A complex relationship exists between ERPs, EROs, and NIBS.
  • tACS, particularly ERP-aligned tACS, presents promising avenues for research into neural oscillations and cognition.
  • Future research can leverage ERP-aligned tACS to enhance understanding of brain function and cognitive processes.
