Abstract
The human motor system involves a number of anatomically and functionally connected brain areas which interplay to coordinate motor execution, higher-order associative functions, integration of sensory information and decision-making. There is accumulating evidence that transcranial electrical stimulation in the form of transcranial direct current, alternating current, or random noise stimulation can interact with the motor system. In this chapter the current knowledge of the effects of electrical brain stimulation on motor cortical excitability, motor performance, and motor learning is reviewed. Moreover, a mechanistic view on how these interactions between stimulation and different aspects of motor control and learning occur is provided, and future directions for applications are highlighted.
