Learning a new skill is one of the brain’s most remarkable abilities. Whether a person is learning to play a musical instrument, operate a machine, solve complex problems, speak a new language or improve a sporting technique, the brain continuously changes in response to practice and experience. This capacity, known as neuroplasticity, allows neural networks to reorganise and become more efficient.
Modern neuroscience is now exploring an intriguing question: Can we stimulate the brain to make skill learning more efficient?
Researchers have been studying non-invasive brain-stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magne | |
