Brain stimulation trial for attention and thinking control
This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method (tDCS) can improve attention and “thinking control,” and how brain activity changes during tasks. It also uses brain imaging (MRI), so safety and comfort conditions must be met.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 50 years old
- Be able to speak and understand English well enough for computer-based thinking tasks
- Be able to give informed consent
- Have no history of head injury
- Have never taken psychotropic (mental-health) medications in the past or currently
- Be able to safely take part in tDCS and MRI (no major metal/medical risks)

This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see how it affects how people process information. It may help researchers understand brain function in healthy younger and older adults.
This study looks at how your brain works when you focus your eyes and think hard. It uses an MRI and gentle brain stimulation (like a small magnetic pulse) to see how your brain cells act together.
This study tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation approach can improve thinking (cognition) in people with schizophrenia and how it changes brain electrical signals and a brain chemical called GABA. It may help researchers understand new ways to support thinking and symptoms.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills. It is for healthy adults who are native English speakers and right-handed.
This trial tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thinking and memory in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury and PTSD. You can do the sessions from home with internet access.
