Effects of transcutaneous auricular VNS in healthy individuals

Ridgewell and their team found these results out of the meta-analysis of 19 studies:

  • there is some support for the theory that taVNS (Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation) improves response inhibition, particularly as tasks increase in difficulty.

  • taVNS does not have a consistent effect on attention shifts/selection.

  • taVNS does not have a substantial amount of evidence when it comes to supporting memory.
