  Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a severe, recurrent and disabling psychiatric condition that is mainly characterized by depressed mood and anhedonia, and secondary symptoms such as cognitive deficits. However, even patients in whom conventional treatment improves depressive symptoms, cognitive performance may remain impaired compared to healthy individuals. Thus, other forms of treatme…

• Abstract

  Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tCAS) is a non-invasive technique that is considered a promising approach in the field of neuromodulation, with the potential to improve cognitive performance, especially in demanding tasks of working memory, attention and executive functions. tCA modulates brain activity through oscillations of different frequencies, such as the alpha (8-12 H…
