Transcranial direct current stimulation to assist experienced pistol shooters in gaining even-better performance scores

The Cerebellum Jul 27, 2018

Kamali AM, et al. - Given that brain stimulation is considered a promising method for the empowerment of athletes’ performance, researchers investigated if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could assist experienced pistol shooters in gaining even-better performance scores. Study participants were 16 pistol shooters randomized to two arms, the control receiving no intervention and the experimental group receiving either sham or real tDCS, ie., anodal stimulation and cathodal suppression over the cerebellar and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) regions, respectively. The aftereffects of the mirror-tracing task in the tDCS group indicated significant differences between the sham and real-tDCS sessions, favoring the real-tDCS session. The findings suggest that concurrent suppression of dlPFC and stimulation of cerebellum through tDCS might increase shooting scores of inexperienced pistol shooters.
