Study Summary
The study will examine how electrical stimulation of vagus nerve (i.e. nerve around the outer ear) from the skin surface during motor training influences a brain hormone (called norepinephrine), brain activity, and motor performance.
Primary Outcome
Visuomotor skill was assessed with the amount of force error against the target trajectory. In the visuomotor task, subjects produced finger force against a force transducer to match a target trajectory as close as possible. The target was made of three low-frequency sinusoids with each sinusoid at different frequencies and amplitudes. This pattern spanned 20 s. The data in the middle 16 s were used for data analysis. For determining the visuomotor skill, the deviation of produced force from the
