Table 1 The cell number (CN) and the mean contrast sensitivity (CS) value of V1 neurons with different preferred spatial frequencies (SFs) under two performance criteria (70.7% and 79.3%) before and after sham (s)- and cathode c-tDCS in the area 7 as well as some neurons before c-tDCS and after recovery from c-tDCS effect.
