Task-specific effects of tDCS-induced cortical excitability changes on cognitive and motor sequence set shifting performance.

In this study, we tested the effects of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on two set shifting tasks. Set shifting ability is defined as the capacity to switch between mental sets or actions and requires the activation of a distributed neural network. Thirty healthy subjects (fifteen per...
