Low frequency transcranial electrical stimulation does not entrain sleep rhythms measured by human intracranial recordings

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has been proposed to enhance neural rhythms supporting memory. Here, the authors leverage human intracranial recordings to show that low-frequency tACS does not entrain key rhythms in non-REM sleep or resting wakefulness.
