Transcranial direct-current stimulation combined with attention increases cortical excitability and improves motor learning in healthy volunteers

Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has the potential to induce motor cortical plasticity in humans. It is well known that motor cortical plasticity plays an essential role in motor learning and recovery in patients wi...
