EP 129. The effect of tDCS over M1 prior to and during implicit motor sequence learning

Motor learning is an essential skill allowing the acquisition of new movement patterns. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to modulate neuronal excitability along with behavioural performance in a polarity-dependent manner. Besides polarity, the effects of tDCS on motor learning also vary with the timing of stimulation. In order to gain a better understanding regarding the optimal timing of tDCS application to modulate implicit motor sequence learning, motor-cortical tDCS was applied prior to and during training on a serial reaction time task (SRTT).
