Summary
This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (transcranial electrical stimulation) can improve performance on a challenging computer task that requires quick thinking and hand-eye coordination. 44 healthy adults with advanced degrees completed the task while receiving either real or fake stimulation. Researchers measured speed, accuracy, and success during and up to 48 hours after stimulation to see if there were any lasting effects.
