Transcranial Alternating Current and Random Noise Stimulation: Possible Mechanisms

Table 1

Translating a current strength of tDCS/tACS (left column) into a voltage gradient (right column) that is used in animal studies. At first, an intracranial current density must be computed in a simulation. If this is multiplied by the gray matter resistivity it yields the voltage gradient.
