Need a little clarification on electrode placement
I have assembled all the necessary equipment and have been using the tdcs treatment for about a week. I have read through this thread at least 3 times and am still a tiny bit confused if I am doing the electrode placement correctly.
I want to treat my right foot. From what I can see on the homunculus images, that area is rather high up on my head. So rather than placing the anode (the positive red) electrode just above my ear, I am assuming I should place the electrode towards the top of my head. Is this correct?
Also my main confusion is what side of the head to put the anode on if I am trying to treat my right foot. I have been placing it on the right side of my head with the cathode above my left eye but I have a feeling I am doing this backwards. Should I be treating my right foot by placing the anode on the left side of my head?
I do plan on trying both hemispheres- 2 weeks with the anode on one side and 2 weeks with the anode on the other side- once I see some results. This is because I have milder symptoms on my left side as well.
Any clarification is much appreciated.
