Last year György Buzsáki performed a public experiment showing that electricity passed through electrodes placed on the scalp of a cadaver could not be detected in the brain. This raised serious concerns about the many claims made on behalf of transcranial electrical stimulation of the brain.
Now, in a forth coming paper, published in the journal Brain Stimulation, evidence is presented from an in vivo study (research on a living subject) that detectable changes in brain electrical activity does occur during transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS).
Stay tuned!
I guess I am not understanding the reasoning behind the experiment. Sounds Frankensteinish to me.
As an aside, your readers and you may find Deborah Mayo’s blog on “error statistics” of interest: https://errorstatistics.com/?wref=bif
I like to know the purpose of an experiment. What are they trying to achieve? Electrical shock through a cadaver seems absurd to me. My observation is just on the surface. Then after that, dig deeper into the study-data collection, bias, etc.
