Despite widespread use in clinical and behavioral studies, the mechanisms of action of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) are poorly understood. We partially attribute this to the lack of in-vivo animal models and have started to probe the influence of tES on the wellexplored macaque visual system, specifically area MT. Previously we have shown that tES reduces the motion aftereffect in human subjects. This leads to the hypothesis that neurons adapt less during tES.
