Synchronization of brain rhythms supports human learning, perception and social cognition. Non-invasive brain stimulation provides a useful tool to investigate causal roles of oscillatory brain activity in human behaviour.
Mind and Matter organises a workshop that focuses on how transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) can be used to manipulate how brain rhythms synchronize to external auditory input, and to control brain-to-brain synchronization. (See a recent review on tACS ...and on use of tACS between brains).
