Scientists zap brains to test the 'Rhythm' of touch

NCT ID NCT04062318

Summary

This study aimed to understand if specific, naturally occurring brain rhythms directly cause changes in our sense of touch. Researchers tested 39 healthy adults by using safe, non-invasive brain stimulation while they performed a simple touch-detection task. The goal was to see if artificially creating these rhythms could change perception, which could inform future research on brain disorders.
