Selective review of tDCS and cognitive training studies enhancing cognitive performance in health and disease [abstract]

Abstract

Cognitive decline is an inevitable part of the normal aging process that has been shown to impact a person's functioning in daily life. Despite this, there is a lack of evidence which supports practical and effective methods of cognitive intervention for home or clinic use. The purpose of this study is to identify if anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can augment cognitive computer trainings for a practical and comprehensive cognitive intervention.
