Brain stimulation could help people learn new physical skills faster
Scientists are exploring non-invasive brain stimulation, using weak electrical currents or magnetic fields, to temporarily change brain activity. The goal is to boost neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new connections, for skills from sport to surgery. While some studies showed faster learning, others found no benefits, and specific targeting is a growing focus.
