This study demonstrates that occipital α-tACS is safe and enhances visuospatial and executive functions in patients with DLB. Improvements in indirect markers of cholinergic transmission and EEG changes indicate significant neurophysiological engagement. These findings justify further exploration of α-tACS as a therapeutic option for DLB patients. © 2024 The Author(s).
