Summary
This study looks at whether a mild electrical current applied to the scalp (tDCS) can improve how quickly people learn a complex, two-handed video game task. 52 healthy adults aged 18-45 will play Guitar Hero while receiving either real or fake (sham) stimulation. Researchers will measure game performance and retention the next day to see if the brain stimulation enhances motor learning.
