This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)—a non-invasive technique that delivers mild electrical current to specific areas of the brain—to see if it can improve movement problems in people living with progressive supranuclear palsy, cortical basal syndrome, or Parkinson's disease. Participants will receive the treatment while practicing walking and other movement tasks. Early research suggests this combination may help with gait, speech, eye movement, and hand coordination.
People with these three conditions experience similar movement difficulties because of damage to brain pathways that control walking, coordination, and motor planning. Researchers want to know if this non-invasive brain stimulation, when paired with movement training, could help restore some of these lost abilities and whether the benefit is similar across all three conditions.

You will attend sessions where you receive 20 minutes of brain stimulation (either real or placebo—you won't know which) while practicing walking and movement tasks. Half the participants in your group will receive actual stimulation, and half will receive sham (fake) stimulation with the same equipment but no current. The study will compare how movement improves in each group to understand whether the real stimulation makes a difference.
