The purpose of this study was to investigate the process of motor learning in healthy adults using virtual reality (VR), real-life, and VR combined with transcranial direct current electrical stimulation (tDCS). By clarifying the learning process in VR and real life, and whether or not tDCS can affect learning, we can provide basic information for future application to actual cases of central nervous system diseases.
Efficacy
Box and Block Test (measurement of the number of blocks that can be carried in one minute) will be conducted before and after each intervention condition to examine the effectiveness.
Motor evoked potentials to evaluate the excitability of the corticospinal tract, cognitive tasks (Kohs block design test, Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, nasal finger-nose test, BIT (Behavioral Inattention Test) imitation task), and motor tasks (Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function) will be conducted before and after each intervention condition.

20 minutes of exercise task in the real world => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in VR space => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in VR space + tDCS.
The VR device is a Leap Motion Controller (80mm x 30mm x 11mm) manufactured by Leap Motion. When the user moves his/her fingers in front of the sensor camera, the fingers on the PC screen move in real time. The exercise task is performed in this VR space.
The tDCS device is the GD-800 Compact-DC Stimulator (75mm x 75mm x 44mm, 140g) manufactured by OG Giken. An electrode pad (5cm x 7cm) is placed on the head non-invasively, and a weak current with a stimulus intensity of 1 or 2mA or less is applied for about 20 minutes.
20 minutes of exercise task in the real world => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in VR space + tDCS => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in VR space.
20 minutes exercise task in VR space => 1 week washout period => 20 minutes exercise task in real world => 1 week washout period => 20 minutes exercise task in VR space + tDCS.
20 minutes exercise task in VR space => 1 week washout period => 20 minutes exercise task in VR space + tDCS => 1 week washout period => 20 minutes exercise task in real world.
20 minutes of exercise task in VR space + tDCS => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in VR space => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in real world.
20 minutes of exercise task in VR space + tDCS => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in real world => 1 week of washout period => 20 minutes of exercise task in VR space.
