A study conducted by researchers at Korea University in Sejong, South Korea, investigated the neuromodulatory effects of transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) using resting-state electroencephalography (EEG). The study involved 15 participants who received taVNS for 40 minutes. The results showed a significant increase in EEG frequency powers across all five frequency bands during taVNS, with more pronounced effects observed after approximately 20-30 minutes of stimulation. The findings suggest that taVNS can effectively modulate brain activity and may have potential applications in enhancing cognitive and motor functions. The research was supported by the Ministry of Education and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]
