Applying 10-Hz scalp current changed tone detection in line with current phase

Evidence

Neuling et al. ( 2012 ) presented tone pips in noise and simultaneously applied 10-Hz tACS above the auditory cortices while manipulating the relative timing of the tone and tACS (the phase lag). They found that detection performance varied as a function of phase lag and that this function resembled well the tACS waveform. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4768

• SHARE: A striking specific finding — tone detection in noise literally oscillates with an externally applied 10 Hz current phase.
