These techniques have no official standards developed yet. Our intent is to underline the main properties and problems linked with the application of those techniques which show diverse, and sometimes even opposite, results depending mainly on electrode positioning and underlying brain activity.engAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacionalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.esTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)Transcranial alternate current stimulation (tACS)Long term potentiation (LTP)Excitatory post synaptic potential (EPSP)Primary motor cortex (M1)Motor evoked potential (MEP)Strokeconference outputopen access10.17979/spudc.9788497498081.0137
