No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study the effect of tDCS intensity on motor performance and corticospinal (CS) excitability is evaluated. The investigators expect that a positive relationship between current intensity and motor performance/CS excitability.

Conditions

  • Cortical Excitability
  • Motor Performance
  • tDCS

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) (NeuroConn DC-stimulator)

The anode is fixed on the primary cortex and the cathode will be fixed on the contralateral supraorbital region.
