Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The market for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) expands. tDCS is a non-invasive technique that delivers a weak direct electrical current to the scalp via electrodes. It is used for enhancing cognitive functions and mood. Existing research addresses technical aspects; yet, understanding users’ perceptions and broader design issues are crucial for acceptance and usability. This paper investigates the perceptions of tDCS practitioners, volunteers, and designers on commonly used electrode fixation methods. It presents design dimensions and recommendations for novel tDCS designs.
