Summary

This study explores how the brain changes old movement memories, like a bad golf swing or piano technique. Researchers will use EEG to measure brain activity and apply gentle electrical stimulation to see if they can help people learn a new movement. The goal is to understand the brain's process, not to treat a disease, and 30 healthy adults will take part.
