Increasing Human Brain Excitability by Transcranial High- Frequency Random Noise Stimulation

An implicit learning paradigm, the serial reaction time task (SRTT) was also performed in addition to assessing task- related modulations of tRNS. High frequency (100-640Hz) tRNS was more effective than low frequency, in modulating excitability changes. tRNS administration had no effect on SICI, LIC...

Description
Summary:An implicit learning paradigm, the serial reaction time task (SRTT) was also performed in addition to assessing task- related modulations of tRNS. High frequency (100-640Hz) tRNS was more effective than low frequency, in modulating excitability changes. tRNS administration had no effect on SICI, LICI, CSP or motor- evoked recruitment curves, but an increase in ICF was observed. tRNS significantly improved participants' performance in the SRTT during the acquisition and early consolidation phase of motor learning.
