Using HD-tDCS to Study Brain Connectivity

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to enhance our understanding of the neural effects of High Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) by recruiting healthy individuals for a series of neuropsychological assessments and MRI scans. Participants will receive HD-tDCS while undergoing MRI, with four different stimulation targets being tested against a sham group. After the stimulation, participants will be re-evaluated using standardized neuropsychological tests to assess any changes in brain connectivity and function. The goal is to improve the clinical applications of HD-tDCS based on the findings.
