Summary
This study looked at how a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (tDCS) affects brain signals in 20 people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers measured brain activity during a reaching task to see which signals improve movement. The goal was to learn more about how tDCS works, so it can be used more effectively to help people with movement problems.
