Interventions

Trainingother

Controlling movement of an object on computer screen by adjusting muscle activity.

Vagus Nerve Stimulationother

Recruits the auricular branch of the vagus nerve which activates brain structures that release chemicals mediating cortical plasticity.

Sham Stimulationother

Sub-threshold stimulation that does not activate neural structures.
