The cables of my device are marked as red/positive and black/negative I see all of these diagrams -example(1)- online and they almost always show positive as the anode, yet in a discharging galvanic cell such as a 9 volt battery the anode is “negative”(2). I am having an extremely difficult time figuring out which electrode is the anode/cathode. I am trying to increase my working memory via anodal stimulation to my DLPFC and cathodal stimulation to my left supraorbital region. I have a 9 volt tdcs unit with red cables going to the positive terminal, and black cables leading to the negative. Hello everyone, this is my first post and I apologize preemptively if I violated any sort of etiquette. Frequently asked questions | tDCS device comparison table.

Nothing posted here should be considered valid medical advice, everything is discussed in a strictly scientific context, if you choose to use a tDCS machine, it is your responsibility to ensure that it works correctly and your usage is within reasonable limits. If you are concerned about some aspect of your mental or physical health, please consult a medical professional before using tDCS. In most cases, there are options available for treating medical and psychiatric problems which have more demonstrated efficacy and safety than tDCS. If you don't understand why you can be killed by a 9V battery, you probably shouldn't be tDCSing yourself.Ģ.tDCS (and related technologies) are experimental.
