Brain zaps and daydreaming: a new way to learn?
NCT ID NCT02813291
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tested whether imagining a finger movement (motor imagery) combined with a gentle electrical current to the brain (tDCS) could improve learning of a complex finger sequence. 64 healthy young and elderly adults participated. The goal was to see if this combination boosts motor learning more than imagery alone. This is a knowledge-gathering study, not a treatment for any disease.
