Kang et al., 2018 | 13 | tDCS | 1 mA, 20 min | 10 sessions | Anode: DLPFC, cathode: right supraorbital | EEG | Complexity | The complexity of EEG significantly increased after tDCS. This study suggests that tDCS may be a helpful tool for the rehabilitation of children with ASD. |
Amatachaya et al., 2015 | 24 | tDCS | 1 mA, 20 min | 1 session | Anode: left DLPFC (F3), cathode: right shoulder | EEG | Peak alpha frequency | The clinical (autism treatment evaluation checklist) and neurological (peak alpha frequency) performance was improved after the treatment of active tDCS. |
