Task-concurrent anodal tDCS modulates bilateral plasticity in the human suprahyoid motor cortex

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive method to modulate cortical excitability in humans. Here, we examined the effects of anodal tDCS on suprahyoid motor evoked potentials (MEP) when applied over the hemisphere with stronger ...
