Breitling et al., 2020 | 15 | tDCS/HD- tDCS | 1 mA/0.5 mA, 20 min | 1 session | Anode: right IFG (F8), cathode: contralateral supra-orbital | EEG | N-200 and P300 | HD-tDCS could be equally suitable with typical tDCS for improving the working memory processing of patients with ADHD. |
Dallmer-Zerbe et al., 2020 | 18 | tACS | 1 mA, 20 min, 3 Hz | 1 session | Anode: motor-parietal cortex (C3, C4, CP3, Cp4, P3, P4); Cathode: temporal-parietal (T7, T8, TP7, TP8, P7, P8) | EEG | P300 | A significant increase in P300 amplitude in the stimulation group, which was accompanied by a decrease in omission errors pre-to-post tACS. |
Cosmo et al., 2015b | 60 | tDCS | 1 mA, 20 min | 1 session | Anode: left DLPFC (F3), Cathode: right DLPFC (F4). | EEG | Functional cortical network | Anodal tDCS increased the functional brain connectivity in individuals with ADHD compared to data recorded in the baseline resting state. |
Cosmo et al., 2015a | 60 | tDCS | 1 mA, 20 min | 1 session | Anode: left DLPFC (F3), cathode: right DLPF)^p z(F4). | EEG | Statistical analysis | The statistical analysis indicated that anodal stimulation over the LDPFC could not improve inhibitory control in patients with ADHD. |
