Effects of off-line auricular transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on a short-term memory task: a pilot study

Effects of off-line auricular transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on a short-term memory task: a pilot study

IntroductionOne of the commonly used indices of short-term memory (STM) is the digit span task. Prior studies have proposed pupil dilation as a measure of task engagement and as a promising biomarker of vagal activation. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a novel non-invasiv...
