Modulating the excitability of the visual cortex using a stimulation priming paradigm

F Herpich, F Conto, M van Koningsbruggen, L Battelli - Neuropsychologia, 2018 - Elsevier
Background Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can cause long term increase of
corticospinal excitability when used to prime the motor cortex, before measuring the motor …

Attention network modulation via tRNS correlates with attention gain

F Contò, G Edwards, S Tyler, D Parrott, E Grossman… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can enhance vision in the healthy and diseased
brain. Yet, the impact of multi-day tRNS on large-scale cortical networks is still unknown. …

Rapid improvement on a temporal attention task within a single session of high-frequency transcranial random noise stimulation

SC Tyler, F Contò, L Battelli - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2018 - direct.mit.edu
This study explored the modulatory effects of high-frequency transcranial random noise
stimulation (tRNS) on visual sensitivity during a temporal attention task. We measured sensitivity …

[HTML][HTML] Prolonged neuromodulation of cortical networks following low-frequency rTMS and its potential for clinical interventions

G Edwards, S Agosta, F Herpich, F Contò… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Non-invasive brain stimulation safely induces persistent large-scale neural modulation in
functionally connected brain circuits. Interruption models of repetitive transcranial magnetic …

Controlling brain state prior to stimulation of parietal cortex prevents deterioration of sustained attention

G Edwards, F Contò, LK Bucci… - Cerebral Cortex …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Sustained attention is a limited resource which declines during daily tasks. Such decay is
exacerbated in clinical and aging populations. Inhibition of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), using …

[HTML][HTML] The role of the parietal lobe in task-irrelevant suppression during learning

F Contò, S Tyler, P Paletta, L Battelli - Brain Stimulation, 2023 - Elsevier
Background Attention optimizes the selection of visual information, while suppressing
irrelevant visual input through cortical mechanisms that are still unclear. We set to investigate …

Rapid effect of high-frequency tRNS over the parietal lobe during a temporal perceptual learning task

S Tyler, F Contò, L Battelli - Journal of Vision, 2015 - jov.arvojournals.org
Introduction. Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) is a noninvasive neurostimulation
technique in which random current levels applied to scalp electrodes elicit temporary …

Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation over the posterior parietal cortex on novice X-ray screening performance

J Wagner, SL Monaco, F Contò, D Parrott, L Battelli… - Cortex, 2020 - Elsevier
Existing theories of visual search are generally deduced from lab-based studies involving
the identification of a target object among similar distractors. The role of the right parietal …

C Federica, G Edwards, S Tyler, D Parrott, E Grossman… - eLife, 2021 - search.proquest.com
Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can enhance vision in the healthy and diseased
brain. Yet, the impact of multi-day tRNS on large-scale cortical networks is still unknown. …

Long-Term Functional Connectivity Changes Across The Dorsal Attention Network After Transcranial Electrical Stimulation

F Contò, G Edwards, L Battelli - Journal of Vision, 2018 - jov.arvojournals.org
Introduction: High-frequency tRNS (hf-tRNS) has been shown to modulate ongoing cortical
oscillations and facilitate behavior in a number of cognitive tasks, including sustained …
