AbstractWe investigated the ability of two non-invasive transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) protocols targeting early visual areas to improve peripheral visual word recognition in separate within-subject, double-blind, sham-controlled experiments with normal observers. English sentences were presented 10 degrees below fixation using a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP).

AbstractVisual cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduces crowding in normal peripheral vision and may improve reading of English words in patients with macular degeneration. Given the different visual requirements of reading English words and Chinese characters, the effect of tDCS on peripheral reading performance in English might be different from Chinese.
