First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a brain area called the primary motor cortex helps us learn and remember new motor skills. Researchers will use a non-invasive technique called rTMS to temporarily lower activity in this area while 32 healthy adults learn to play a song on Guitar Hero. The goal is to see if this affects how well they learn during practice and how much they improve between practice sessions.
