Brain study of autobiographical memory using brain stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain supports remembering your own past experiences. It tests brain mechanisms using brain scanning (MRI) and noninvasive brain stimulation to see how these memory processes work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be either 18–35 years old, or 55+ years old
- If you’re not diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), your memory thinking test must be normal (MoCA at least 26)
- If you have MCI, you must be 55+ with a clinician diagnosis of MCI and certain memory issues
- You must be able to have an MRI (no metal/implants that make MRI unsafe, unless cleared)
- You must be able to follow study visits and complete consent paperwork

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tACS) can improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A caregiver also helps with the stimulation during the study, and success is measured through study visits and memory-related evaluations.
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 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 whether a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help improve memory in people with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It may also include healthy older adults for comparison.
This trial uses brain stimulation and MRI to study memory problems in people with neurodegenerative diseases or traumatic brain injury. It aims to understand how the brain changes and may help guide future treatments.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
