Summary

This study tests whether a mild, painless electrical stimulation on the ear can improve reaction time in healthy adults. Researchers will use a TENS unit (like a physical therapy device) on 30 volunteers and measure how fast they press a key in response to a color change. The goal is to see if this simple technique can temporarily speed up reflexes.
