A predictive nature for tactile awareness? Insights from damaged and intact central-nervous-system functioning.

abstract：:Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been proposed as a new therapeutic way to enhance the cognition of patients with dementia. However, serious methodological limitations appear to affect the estimates of their efficacy. We reviewed the stimulatio...
