Summary

This study looks at how a gentle brain stimulation technique affects the ability to learn leg movements in both healthy adults and people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Researchers will measure changes in stepping speed and brain activity after five sessions combining stimulation with a visual stepping task. The goal is to understand the brain's role in motor learning, which could lead to better rehabilitation strategies.
