First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at how the brain changes old movement habits, like a bad golf swing or piano technique. Researchers will use EEG to measure brain activity and apply gentle electrical stimulation to see if they can help people learn a new movement more easily. The study involves 30 healthy adults, some over 60, and aims to understand the brain processes behind relearning.
