Abstract

This study aimed to explore the role of the cerebellum on the somatosensory temporal discrimination (STD) process. Twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Each participant was included in three different transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) sessions as anodal, cathodal, and sham sessions in randomised order. Anodal and cathodal cerebellar tDCS (cTDCS) were given for 20min at an intensity of 2mA. The results of the study indicate no effect of cTDCS on STD. Although the study results show that cTDCS does not affect STD, because of the restricted sample size of the study, it is useful and necessary to investigate this relationship more in depth in a larger healthy subject population using different cTDCS methodologies.
