“…This technique of passing a small electric current through two electrodes attached to the scalp has been well established to modulate the neural activity of the underlying networks ( Nitsche and Paulus, 2000 ). One stimulation site in particular, the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC, with the cathode over the right supraorbital area), has been shown to be effective in a number of studies ( Angelakis et al, 2014 ; Thibaut et al, 2014 , 2017 , 2018a ; Naro et al, 2015 ; Estraneo et al, 2017 ; Martens et al, 2018 ; Cavinato et al, 2019 ; Wu et al, 2019 ; Hermann et al, 2020 ). For instance, of 30 MCS patients undergoing just a single session of tDCS, 13 showed new signs of conscious behavior following the intervention ( Thibaut et al, 2014 ).…”
