Thalamic transcranial electrical stimulation with temporal interference enhances sleep spindle activity during a daytime nap

2026-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Sleep spindles are electroencephalographic elements characteristic of non-rapid eye movement sleep generated by thalamo-cortical interactions. Spindles have been linked to some of the cognitive benefits afforded by sleep and high spindle activity is associated with increased arousal threshold. Here, we demonstrate that targeting the thalamus with Transcranial Electrical Stimulation with Temp...
