Abstract

A new study has found that rhythmical brain stimulation at theta frequency (5Hz) over prefrontal cortex and stimulation at alpha frequency (10Hz) over posterior parietal cortex increase visual working memory capacity, the effects being due respectively to prioritisation of target information and suppression of distracting information.
