Electrical stimulation of the frontal cortex enhances slow-frequency EEG activity and sleepiness

•5Hz more than 0.8Hz anodal tDCS is effective in inducing EEG synchronization.•5Hz anodal tDCS as compared to sham induces an enhancement of sleepiness.•Cortical topography of delta EEG changes is regionally related to sleepiness. Our aim was to enhance the spontaneous slow-frequency EEG activity du...
