On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Dynamic interactions between brain networks underlie complex brain functions. Thus, the ability to externally modulate brain dynamics has great potential as a tool for both basic research and therapy. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a non-invasive neurostimulation technique by which alternating currents are applied through the skull. TACS is emerging as a viable tool to study and modify the activity of brain networks.
However, the traditional application of tACS, as well as other classical stimulation techniques, suffers from three main limitations: 1) verifiability: the brain networks targeted by the stimulation cannot be verified without simultaneous brain imaging; 2) inter-individual variability: those stimulation parameters vary across participants due to a multitude of variables, such as age, sex, genetic polymorphisms and pathophysiology; 3) specificity: non-invasive electrical stimulation has limited capability for use in deep structures. In this talk, I will present our recent studies that aim to address these challenges.
