tACS dose: Waveform • Maximum polarization at DC is 0.15 mV per mA current(Bikson et al. J. Physiol. 2004, Radman et al. Brain Stim. 2009) • Sensitivity decrease with frequencies >20 Hz (Bikson et al. J. Physiol 2004) + Peak Memrane Polarization + 5 Hz 50 Hz Frequency 500 Hz 5000 Hz DC (0 Hz) • Neurons become insensitive “transparent” to current at >500 Hz (Bikson et al. J. Physiol 2001)
