Abstract

There is an increasing interest in the possible use of the cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation also in pediatric age. However, there is still little information about its safety in children. This paper provides a characterization of the electric field distributions due to cerebellar tDCS in pediatric brain by making use of computational electromagnetics techniques applied to more models of children of different ages and gender.
