Summary
This study explores whether a mild electrical pulse to the ear (tVNS) can improve how quickly older adults learn a finger control task. 32 healthy adults aged 65-84 will be randomly assigned to receive real or fake stimulation during training. Their finger control performance is measured before and after to see if the stimulation speeds up learning.
