Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a neuromodulatory technique in which low voltage constant or alternating currents are applied to the human brain via scalp electrodes. The basic idea of tES is that the application of weak currents can interact with neural processing, modify plasticity and entrain brain networks, and that this in turn can modify behaviour. The technique is now widely employed in basic and translational research, and increasingly is also used privately in sport, the military and recreation. The proposed capacity to augment recovery of brain function, by promoting learning and facilitating plasticity, has motivated a burgeoning number of clinical trials in a wide range of disorders of the nervous system.
经颅电刺激（tES）是一种神经调节技术，通过头皮电极将低电压恒流或交流电施加到人脑。tES 的基本思想是，应用弱电流可以与神经处理相互作用，改变可塑性并使大脑网络同步，进而改变行为。该技术现在广泛应用于基础和转化研究，并且越来越多地也被用于体育、军事和娱乐领域。通过促进学习和促进可塑性来增强大脑功能恢复的能力，激发了大量在神经系统广泛疾病中进行的临床试验。
