The effects of so‐tDCS polarity on memory‐related NREM sleep oscillations in healthy older adults
A change in polarity from anodal to cathodal slow oscillatory stimulation does not benefit memory-related NREM oscillations in healthy older adults. However, our findings suggest that increased cortical excitability may contribute to the oscillatory effects of anodal so-tDCS. Additionally, chronotype appears to moderate stimulation outcomes, offering insight into personalized interventions.
