Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation reduces error amplitude during force field learning in healthy adults

Obata H, Sekiguchi H

Scientific Reports · 2025

Key finding

taVNS time-locked to reaching-movement initiation reduced error amplitude during force field learning, with significantly smaller final errors than sham, suggesting an online facilitatory effect on motor learning when stimulation is matched to task onset.
