Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
tDCS and training
Transcranial Direct current stimulation (tDCS) is applied together with a bimanual learning task. tDCS is delivered through two gel-sponge electrodes (eldith DC Stimulator, neuroConn GmbH, Ilmenau, Germany) embedded in a saline-soaked solution. tDCS will be applied for 20 min, with a current intensity of 1mA.
tDCS
20 min, 1mA, 8 weeks (5 days a week, 20 min a day)
Bimanual Training
The training program consisted of a bimanual etch-a-sketch task. By rotating two wheels subjects have to match a line presented on the screen with the cursor. 8 weeks (5 days a week, 20 min a day)
Control
No intervention is applied
No interventions assigned to this group
Sham tDCS + Training
The training consists of a bimanual training task. tDCS is only applied for a few seconds and will than be ramped-down.
tDCS
20 min, 1mA, 8 weeks (5 days a week, 20 min a day)
Bimanual Training
The training program consisted of a bimanual etch-a-sketch task. By rotating two wheels subjects have to match a line presented on the screen with the cursor. 8 weeks (5 days a week, 20 min a day)
