The influence of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on cognitive functions

Beschreibung

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with potential cognitive benefits. However, mixed evidence on its efficacy may stem from variability in stimulation parameters and a lack of standardized biomarkers, such as vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV). This talk will examine the effects of taVNS on cognition, with a particular focus on its influence on executive functioning, highlight the challenges in interpreting its efficacy, and discuss the importance of optimizing protocols and validating biomarkers for further improving the use of this tool.
