Here is a list of the placements we have docuemented. Clicking on the title will take you to a more detailed page of the placements. Red dots stand for anodes while black dots represent cathodes.
Anode & Cathode Placement
Sing your heart out
There are many motor strip studies showing that anodal stimulation at C3 or C4, with a contralateral obit reference, enhances fine motor control, while cathodal stimulation impairs it. A motor-strip study of stroke patients by Lindenberg, et al., (2010), found that by placing the anode over the motor-strip lesion and the cathode over the contralate... Read more

Sing your heart out
The electrode placement for improved auditory processing and pitch discrimination. (So you just might sing better in the choir.) Cathode on right shoulder. Read more
Anode & Cathode Placement
Girls love a guy who can do math.
A study by Kadosh (2010) showed that anodal stimulation at P4, with the cathode at P3, improved math ability, but did not test to see if the cathode caused verbal impairments. Read more
Anode & Cathode Placement
Nothing to say.
Electrode placements for boosting socializing, including facial recognition and body language. Cathode on left shoulder. Read more

Everyone wants to be insightful
Chi & Snyder (2011), found an innovative way to increase insight. They used a well-known experimental paradigm involving ''matchstick arithmetic'' Participants were asked to correct a false arithmetic statement, presented in Roman numerals constructed from matchsticks, by moving one stick from one position to another position without adding or remo...

Anode & Cathode Placement
Start paying attention.
The anode is placed on FP1 or FP2, with a contra- lateral shoulder cathode. A large anode electrode could also be placed across FP1 and FP2 at 2 mA, with a neck-placed cathode. Read more

Don't worry, be happy!
With F3 anodal and F4 cathodal stimulation, cigarette cravings were reduced by 21%, alcohol cravings were reduced, and junk-food cravings were reduced. Although there were better results using the F3 anode/F4 cathode arrangement, an F3 cathode/F4 anode electrode placement was, surprisingly, also quite effective Read more
