Abstract

In this study, the influence of tDCS on vibrotactile adaptation is investigated. Double-blind tDCS (Anodal/Sham) of 1 mA was delivered for 600 s to electrodes positioned in a somatosensory/contralateral orbit montage. Stimulation was applied between blocks of the implemented amplitude discrimination...
