Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) modulates motor execution in a limb reaching task.

The majority of human activities show a trade-off between movement speed and accuracy. Here we tested 16 participants in a quick pointing action after 20 minutes (2mA) of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) delivered at the Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) in a single-blind crossover design...
