“…A final further consideration of our results is the choice of stimulation parameters used. While prior work has shown that the use of bilateral electrode montages for tRNS stimulation can modulate performance in cognitive and perceptual domains (e.g., Cappelletti et al, 2013 ; Snowball et al, 2013 ; Joos et al, 2015 ; Romanska et al, 2015 ; Campana et al, 2016 ; Popescu et al, 2016 ; van der Groen and Wenderoth, 2016 ; van Koningsbruggen et al, 2016 ; Looi et al, 2017 ; Penton et al, 2017 ; Yang and Banissy, 2017 ), recent work using bilateral electrode montages for tRNS to stimulate the motor system has found that this approach does not induce the classical excitatory effects of unilateral tRNS ( Parkin et al, 2018 ). This is similar to studies of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS: a more commonly used transcranial electrical brain stimulation technique), where many studies find behavioral differences using bilateral electrode montages, but work using bilateral tDCS montages to modulate activity in the motor system has found mixed results on motor cortex excitability changes (e.g., Nitsche and Paulus, 2000 ; Mordillo-Mateos et al, 2012 ; Sehm et al, 2013 ; Parkin et al, 2018 ).…”
