科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 认知科学 认知科学
- 神经调节是一种神经调节.
背景情况:
- 超直流刺激 (tDCS) 显示出增强工作记忆 (WM) 的前景.
- 对于WM增强的跨骨随机噪声刺激 (tRNS) 存在有限的数据.
- 这项研究比较了tRNS和tDCS对WM的疗效.
研究的目的:
- 调查tRNS对WM性能的有效性.
- 为了将tRNS与tDCS进行比较,并对WM增强进行假刺激.

主要方法:
- 120名健康的成年人参与了一项随机,双盲,假控制的试验.
- 参与者在双重n-back任务中接受了tRNS,tDCS或虚假刺激在左侧脊侧前额皮层 (DLPFC) 上.
- 评估了WM性能 (d-prime) 和反应时间在刺激前,刺激期间和刺激后.
主要成果:
- 在线评估期间,tRNS与虚假相比,显著改善了WM性能 (d-prime).

The Placebo Effect
The placebo effect occurs when people's expectations or beliefs influence or determine their experience in a given situation. In other words, simply expecting something to happen can actually make it happen.
Blind Procedures
Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which child was...
Blinding
Blinding is a commonly used method of not telling participants which treatment a subject is receiving. Blinding is a critical part of a randomized control trial or RCT. It reduces the bias that affects the results. In an RCT, blinding is used in the form of a placebo. A placebo effect occurs when untreated subjects falsely believe they have received the treatment and report improved symptoms. A placebo or a dummy treatment is administered to subjects to negate the bias caused by such an effect.
