Tcds
The DARPA Montage
tCDS
Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation
A montage is the placements of the anode (positive) and cathode (negative) electrode in relation to each other. While there are many other tDCS montage’s that can be referenced on TotaltDCS.com montage can very based on its desired purpose. The option very widely from pain relief, to addiction cravings to depression and anxiety.
The DARPA Model yes this is named after the US Governments (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) or better known as DARPA. The Governmental agents tested the montage on US Snipers and determined that doubled the soldier’s performance. A lesser known governmental agency DSO or (Defense Sciences Office) published a report stating tCDS to have the largest effects on learning ever reported
The DARPA montage is slightly different than other Montage patterns where the DARPA montage has an overall higher resistant due to the location of the electrode. The anode or positive electrode is places on the right temple while the cathode or negative electrode is placing the left shoulder or upper arm.
Benefits of DARPA montage
Accelerated learning
Focus
Visual perception
Common range
.5 mA to 2mA
Below is the Abstract taken from the original 2010 DARPA report:
A variety of brain networks were found using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data collected at different stages of learning, with two of these networks focused in right inferior frontal and right parietal cortex. Anodal 2.0 mA tDCS performed for 30 min over these regions in a series of single-blind, randomized studies resulted in significant improvements in learning and performance compared with 0.1 mA tDCS. This difference in performance increased to a factor of two after a one-hour delay. A dose–response effect ofcurrent strength on learning was also found. Taken together, these brain imaging and stimulation studies suggest that right frontal and parietal cortex are involved in learning to identify concealed objects in naturalistic surroundings. Furthermore, they suggest that the application of anodal tDCS over these regions can greatly increase learning, resulting in one of the largest effects on learning yet reported. The methods developed here may be useful to decrease the time required to attain expertise in a variety of
