Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation boosts accuracy during perceptual decision-making
Our findings align with the "gain" hypothesis, with tentative evidence suggesting that the impact of LC-NE activity adapts to task demands. Accordingly, tVNS showed the strongest effects in contexts prone to accuracy declines, possibly reflecting attentional disengagement, which points to a role of LC in mitigating lapses of attention.
