Can thinking about moving your fingers, plus a brain zap, help you learn faster?

NCT ID NCT02813291

Summary

This study explored whether combining mental practice with a safe, mild form of brain stimulation could help people learn complex finger movements. It involved 64 healthy young and older adults who practiced a finger sequence in their minds while receiving either real or fake stimulation. The goal was to understand if this combo improves learning and how the brain changes during the process.
