Priming Expectations and Motor Learning With tDCS
Sponsor: Arizona State University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to test if priming expectations of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can improve the efficacy of tDCS in enhancing motor learning.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a minimal risk, non-invasive, neuromodulatory technique that involves the emission of a weak electrical current, traditionally via the placement of two electrodes attached to the scalp of a participant. tDCS is widely used for research purposes, the US FDA considers trials of tDCS as non-significant-risk. There are several review articles supporting the safety of tDCS usage in controlled human trials. According to a published meta-analysis , the use of conventional tDCS protocols in human trials (≤40 min, ≤4 mA) has not produced any reports of a Serious Adverse Effect or irreversible injury across over 33,200 sessions.
