Brief Summary:
Practice is required to improve your shot in basketball or to play a musical instrument The learning of these motor skills can be further enhanced by non-invasively stimulating regions of the brain that control movements with electrical currents These electric currents can strengthen or weaken connections of the brain which consequently affects a persons ability to improve their performance on a skill Non-invasive brain stimulation NIBS is widely applied in many disciplines of neuroscience research and has potential therapeutic application There are two specific types of NIBS that will be used in this research study 1 Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation tDCS which applies very weak electrical currents via two rubber electrodes on the scalp and 2 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS which applies magnetic pulses via a coil against the head to stimulate regions of the brain Both types of non-invasive brain stimulation ie tDCS and TMS are well-tolerated painless and safe The application of tDCS to brain regions that control movements concurrently with practice of a skill results in better skill performance than practice alone with no tDCS Therefore in this study we will be testing different types of brain stimulation and different amounts of practice
