Abstract
In the present study, we investigated traveling waves induced by transcranial alternating current stimulation in the alpha frequency band of healthy subjects. Electroencephalographic data were recorded in 12 healthy subjects before, during, and after phase-shifted stimulation with a device combining both electroencephalographic and stimulation capacities. In addition, we analyzed the results of numerical simulations and compared them to the results of identical analysis on real EEG data. The results of numerical simulations indicate that imposed transcranial alternating current stimulation induces a rotating electric field. The direction of waves induced by stimulation was observed more often during at least 30 s after the end of stimulation, demonstrating the presence of aftereffects of the stimulation. Results suggest that the proposed approach could be used to modulate the interaction between distant areas of the cortex. Non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation can be used to facilitate the propagation of circulating waves at a particular frequency and in a controlled direction. The results presented open new opportunities for developing innovative and personalized transcranial alternating current stimulation protocols to treat various neurological disorders.

期刊介绍：
Cognitive Neurodynamics provides a unique forum of communication and cooperation for scientists and engineers working in the field of cognitive neurodynamics, intelligent science and applications, bridging the gap between theory and application, without any preference for pure theoretical, experimental or computational models.
The emphasis is to publish original models of cognitive neurodynamics, novel computational theories and experimental results. In particular, intelligent science inspired by cognitive neuroscience and neurodynamics is also very welcome.
The scope of Cognitive Neurodynamics covers cognitive neuroscience, neural computation based on dynamics, computer science, intelligent science as well as their interdisciplinary applications in the natural and engineering sciences. Papers that are appropriate for non-specialist readers are encouraged.
1. There is no page limit for manuscripts submitted to Cognitive Neurodynamics. Research papers should clearly represent an important advance of especially broad interest to researchers and technologists in neuroscience, biophysics, BCI, neural computer and intelligent robotics.
2. Cognitive Neurodynamics also welcomes brief communications: short papers reporting results that are of genuinely broad interest but that for one reason and another do not make a sufficiently complete story to justify a full article publication. Brief Communications should consist of approximately four manuscript pages.
3. Cognitive Neurodynamics publishes review articles in which a specific field is reviewed through an exhaustive literature survey. There are no restrictions on the number of pages. Review articles are usually invited, but submitted reviews will also be considered.
