Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the influences of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the acquisition of laparoscopic surgical skills. For this purpose, the investigator will compare variants of tDCS in the first of 2 experiments. The second arm of the trial will investigate gaze training in a similar study design. These questions will be evaluated using the validated Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) module 1, with the overall goal of developing a surgical training curriculum that achieves expert level skill in an expedited timeframe. This research provides a novel approach to general surgery training that has the potential to reduce the amount of time and repetitions required to achieve expert laparoscopic skills.
