Objectives
Narrative objectives1
The aim of this study is to clarify the effects of low-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on finger dexterity and reaction performance. In addition, neural mechanisms underlying the effects of brain stimulation will be investigated by assessing changes in brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
