Abstract
I will talk about the effects of tDCS applied to the motor cortex on visuomotor skill learning in healthy individuals and stroke patients. I will show how tDCS combined with prolonged motor training can affect different temporal components of the learning process. Since tDCS has tremendous potential to improve motor function after brain injury, I will also contrast the effects of tDCS on motor skill learning in healthy individuals and stroke patients and highlight possible implications for the design of treatment strategies.
