M1 a-tDCS does not acutely enhance motor skill acquisition of a dexterous, timing-based videogame task in adults. [PDF]
Physiol RepAbstract Motor skill acquisition involves plastic changes across distributed neural networks, and anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a‐tDCS) applied over primary motor cortex (M1) is often used to modulate excitability and potentially enhance learning.

Using frustration in the design of adaptive videogames [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2004 ACM SIGCHI International Conference on Advances in computer entertainment technology, 2004 In efforts to attract a wider audience, videogames are beginning to incorporate adaptive gameplay mechanics. Unlike the more traditional videogame, adaptive games can cater the gaming experience to the individual user and not just a particular group of users as with the former. Affective videogames, games that respond to the user's emotional state, may
