Overview

TRANSCRANIAL ALTERNATING CURRENT STIMULATION  What is tACS?  Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation, or tACS, is a non-invasive brain stimulation that delivers rapidly alternating electrical currents to the scalp through electrodes. Rather than providing a constant electrical current like in transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), the current supplied in tACS oscillates in a waveform to stimulate the natural rhythmic pattern of electrical activity in the brain. These oscillating currents are believed to interact with ongoing oscillations in our brain that occur when we perform cognitive tasks. The current can be applied in various frequencies to target various effects. tACS is not a new technology and has been used for decades in cognitive neuroscience and various psychiatric and neuropsychiatric disorders such as poststroke depression, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and MS.1,2   How can tACS help alleviate certain long COVID symptoms. Many long COVID patients have reported cognitive symptoms of fatigue and brain fog that can impact activities of daily living.
