  • Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) shows potential for treating mental disorders, including ADHD and depression.
  • Studies indicate tACS can enhance cognitive functions and modulate brain activity, with promise for Alzheimer's disease and major depressive disorder.
  • A randomized controlled trial, TRANSFORM-AD, is underway to assess tACS effectiveness in mild Alzheimer's patients.
