Modulation of interhemispheric inhibition and motor learning by different intensities of bilateral transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy adults

Scientific Reports
Interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) plays a crucial role in performing unilateral hand movements. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to modulate IHI and enhance motor learning, but the most effective stimulation intensity remains
