摘要: Abstract Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) has previously demonstrated promising effects in improving surgical performance with motor region [1] , [2] [3] [4] . However, extensive prior research revealed an important role of the prefrontal cortex skill development [5 6] This article presents data a double-blind randomized sham-controlled trial investigating effect tDCS on knot-tying [7] Data was collected from active (n = 20) and sham group across three blocks: pre-, online- (during) post-tDCS. Group block differences were analyzed using Generalized linear mixed model supported Friedman's test. Further sub-analyses conducted to compare high vs. low skilled individuals initial last knots. Subjective workload assessed after each SURG-TLX questionnaire side-effects recorded additional survey.
