Brain stimulation and how it changes memory task performance
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how a brain stimulation method affects how well you do thinking and memory tasks. You would complete cognitive testing before and after the stimulation, and the researchers look at whether your performance changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are right-handed
- You can read and speak English fluently
- You do not have seizures or epilepsy, and no family history of epilepsy
- You do not have major neurological, psychiatric, or neurodevelopmental conditions
- You can safely do the brain scanning/stimulation (no metal in head/neck, no implanted devices that interfere)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
This study tests a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation method to help people with memory, especially remembering facts over time. It compares healthy adults and adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), using sessions plus brain scans and memory testing.
This trial uses brain stimulation (TMS) to see if it can improve memory. It involves recording brain activity with electrodes already placed for medical reasons.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve memory and thinking in people with dementia. By measuring your brain waves first, researchers hope to tailor the stimulation to your specific needs.
This study tests a new way to use brain stimulation guided by MRI to understand memory. It may help people with mild memory problems or healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
