Summary

This study measured how electrical current from a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS actually flows through the brain. Researchers used 30 epilepsy patients who already had electrodes implanted in their brains for medical reasons. The goal was to check and improve computer models that predict where the current goes, so future treatments can be more precise.
