The TACS Challenge

Multi-centre initiative to test for online effects of TACS on behaviour that result from phasic current modulation in the brain and not from sensory confounds

📢Big announcement! We submitted our pre-registered stage 1 report today. It took us 6 years to get to this point, so it's a big milestone. A huge thanks to the 38 participating labs and the 116 co-authors. Fingers crossed we'll receive constructive criticism on our protocol.
