Attention network modulation via tRNS correlates with attention gain
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. …

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