First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS could improve voice quality and range in 45 healthy singers. Participants received either real stimulation to the motor cortex or cerebellum, or a sham (fake) stimulation, during voice training over 10 days. Researchers measured vocal range, voice quality, and self-reported effort before, during, and one month after the sessions.
