Modelling acute and lasting effects of tDCS on epileptic activity.

abstract：:The temporal durations between events often exert a strong influence over behavior. The details of this influence have been extensively characterized in behavioral experiments in different animal species. A remarkable feature of the data collected in these experiments is that they are often time-scale invariant. This ...
