The goal of this study is to investigate the impact of non-invasive brain stimulation on motor skill acquisition in healthy individuals. Participants performed a motor task with non-invasive brain stimulation applied over the area of the brain where movements were controlled. The study compared motor skill performance between with the active stimulation and the placebo stimulation.
This study implemented a randomized, double-blinded, and sham-controlled design, investigating the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on motor skill acquisition in healthy individuals.
