ABSTRACT
This work aimed to estimate the distribution of the electric field generated by a combined cerebellar and frontal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for treatment-resistant depression using electromagnetics computational techniques applied to a realistic head human model. Results showed that the stronger electric fields occur mainly in the cerebellum and in DLPFC areas, where the two pairs of electrodes were applied. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that the simultaneous use of the two pairs of electrodes did not imply a lower effectiveness of the tDCS technique, in fact the electric field distributions in the primarily targets of the anatomical regions (i.e., cerebellum and DLPFC) were very similar to when the pairs of electrodes were applied separately.
