Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Effects on Memory Consolidation: Timing Matters

A realistic model of distribution of the tDCS-induced normalized electric field (normE) in the brain. The electric field modeling was based on the montage used in the experiment by Marián et al. (2018): anode is located on F4 and cathode is located on Cz according to the International 10–20 EEG system. The greatest amplitude of the electric field was mostly revealed on the posterior left superior frontal gyrus and posterior left middle frontal gyrus, i.e., nearby FC4 position. The electric field distribution was computed using a realistic finite element model as implemented in SimNIBS 2.1 free software (Thielscher et al., 2015).
