tDCS Failed Visual Working Memory as Distraction Increased Orientation Bias

Editorial card showing visual working memory, tDCS electrodes, and distraction-linked orientation bias in a cognitive neuroscience task.

A 2026 two-experiment study found no visual-working-memory benefit from parietal or occipital transcranial direct current stimulation, while distraction unexpectedly made the cardinal-over-oblique orientation advantage stronger than it was without distraction: the pooled distraction-by-angle interaction had BFinc = 1021.671.1 Research Highlights Distraction strengthened the bias: pooled data from 68 analyzed adults showed a strong distractor-by-angle interaction, …
