CIBC: Sumientra Rampersad, Is temporal interference the key to noninvasive deep brain stimulation?

Is temporal interference the key to noninvasive deep brain stimulation? Answers from simulation studies in mice and humans Transcranial current stimulation (tCS) has been used for two decades to noninvasively investigate and influence brain function in both healthy volunteers and clinical populations. While many positive effects have been found, high focality, accurate targeting and deep stimulation are yet to be achieved. Temporal interference stimulation (TIS) is a new form of tCS that might improve tCS on all three fronts. A recent murine study showed promising effects of TIS, but human experiments have not yet been published. In this talk I will present results of simulation and optimization studies of TIS in mice and humans, and discuss the implications for potential applications of TIS in humans.
