Does vibrotactile stimulation of the auricular vagus nerve enhance working memory? A behavioral and physiological investigation
Published in Brain Stimulation, 2024
In this study, we showed 6 Hz vibrotactile transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) increases general arousal. Experimentally, 6 Hz vibrotactile taVNS mitigates arousal decreases as subjects continuously perform working memory tasks.
