Summary

This study tested different types of noninvasive brain and nerve stimulation in up to 1,500 healthy adults to see how they affect movement and brain activity. The goal was to find the best settings for these techniques, which may one day help people with conditions like stroke. No direct treatment was given—this was purely to gather knowledge for future research.
