The fade-in – Short stimulation – Fade out approach to sham tDCS – Reliable at 1 mA for naïve and experienced subjects, but not investigators

Objective: Slowly ramping down initial current intensity after a minimal interval of stimulation is the de facto standard for sham stimulation in transcranial electrical stimulation research. The aim of this study is to further investigate the effectiveness of this method of blinding. Methods: We ha...
