Research results show that giving a weak electrical stimulus to the brain for a short time improves the skill of the game
Research has shown that esports skills can be significantly improved by using electrical stimulation.

Video gamers skills enhanced by training 10 minutes a day
This study was conducted by the University of Limerick and the Irish Software Research Center. Using 'Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO)' as one of the most prominent games in the last 20 years, we asked participants in the experiment to perform a mission to 'shoot and eliminate targets as quickly and accurately as possible'. I did.
Prior to training, participants wore a headset that provided transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and were stimulated for 20 minutes. However, some of the participants received 'fake treatment' that was not electrical stimulation.
As a result, beginner gamers who received tDCS before training significantly improved the performance of specific tasks in 5 days compared to beginner gamers who trained without stimulation.
Also, comparing the group that received tDCS and the group that did not receive tDCS, it seems that the group that received electrical stimulation showed clearly higher performance when shooting targets on the left and right of the aim.
Dr. Adam Toss, who participated in the study, said, 'The fact that the performance was affected for left and right targets that specifically required controlled movements could further accelerate the performance improvement of complex movements rather than simple reactions. It supports the claim that there is sex. '
Dr. Mark Campbell of the University of Limerick said experimental results show that tDCS may be particularly beneficial in the early stages of task learning, which could be beneficial in areas other than esports, such as rehabilitation of stroke patients. Suggested that there is.
The Japanese Society of Clinical Neurophysiology warns that the efficacy of tDCS in sports and mathematics has not been sufficiently scientifically verified.
