Brain stimulation for motor learning in healthy young adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether different levels of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve how quickly healthy young adults learn new movement skills. It might help if you're interested in understanding how to boost motor learning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 25 years old.
- You have normal or corrected vision (glasses or contacts are fine).
- You are not pregnant, have no heart disease or other physical health conditions, and have no personal or family history of mental illness.
- You do not have any implanted medical devices (like a pacemaker or deep brain stimulator).

This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it improves memory and thinking in healthy young and older adults. It aims to help understand if this technique could benefit cognitive function.
This study tests whether a gentle form of brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) combined with resistance exercises can help healthy young adults learn motor skills faster. If you are a right-handed young adult without certain health conditions, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) can help healthy young adults learn hand movements better after a short period of arm immobility. If you join, you may help improve recovery methods for people who lose hand function.
This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see how it affects how people process information. It may help researchers understand brain function in healthy younger and older adults.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help healthy adults learn a new movement video game faster. If you are a healthy adult, you may help us understand how to boost motor learning.
This study tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
