Abstract:Visual cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduces crowding in normal peripheral vision and may improve reading of English words in patients with macular degeneration. Given the different visual requirements of reading English words and Chinese characters, the effect of tDCS on peripheral reading performance in English might be different from Chinese. This study recruited seventeen participants (59 to 73 years of age) with normal vision and tested the hypothesis that anodal tDCS would improve… Show more
