Table 1 Identifying key moderators of theta-band transcranial alternating current stimulation efficacy on N-back performance
| Moderator variable | Category/relationship | Effect on working memory performance |
| Stimulation protocol | Fixed frequency (e.g., 6 Hz) | > Personalized frequency |
| Timing of stimulation | Online (during task) | > Offline (before task) |
| Stimulation duration | Longer duration | Larger effect size (positive relationship) |
| Task paradigm | N-back | > Delayed match-to-sample |
