Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Sports Science

Background:

  • Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) is a non-invasive technique modulating cortical excitability.
  • tACS research has explored its impact on cognitive functions, including working memory, learning, and decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review tACS research on cognitive functions.
  • To analyze tACS application schemes, safety, and unresolved issues in cognitive enhancement.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing research on tACS and cognitive function.
  • Analysis of factors influencing tACS effectiveness and safety.

Main Results:

  • tACS improves working memory, learning, and decision-making in healthy individuals and athletes, positively impacting performance.
  • Stimulation frequency, phase, area, and dose are key determinants of tACS efficacy.
  • Individual cognitive status, age, and timing are crucial for optimizing tACS interventions.

Conclusions:

  • tACS shows promise for cognitive enhancement but requires tailored application strategies.
  • Safety concerns and regulatory ambiguities, particularly regarding 'neuro-doping' in sports, necessitate clear guidelines and detection methods.
  • Further research is needed to establish comprehensive safety parameters and monitoring protocols for tACS use.
