Boosting Cognition: Effects of Multiple-Session Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Working Memory.

abstract：:In many everyday listening situations, an otherwise audible sound may go unnoticed amid multiple other sounds. This auditory phenomenon, called informational masking (IM), is sensitive to visual input and involves early (50-250 msec) activity in the auditory cortex (the so-called awareness-related negativity). It is s...
