- Patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes serve as natural models to detect electric fields inside the brain.
- Findings show that scalp-applied tDCS generates biologically relevant electric fields in human brain in vivo.
- Electric fields depend on the current level and montage of tDCS.
