After two decades of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) research, it is still unclear which applications benefit most from which tDCS protocols. One prospect is the acceleration of learning, where previous work has demonstrated that anodal tDCS applied to the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (rVLPFC) is capable of doubling the rate of learning in a visual camouflaged threat detection and category learning task.
