Brain stimulation study to improve memory focus
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation of the brain can change brain signals and support working memory (your ability to hold and use information briefly). It’s mainly for people who don’t have certain brain/mental health conditions and who are able to safely receive this type of stimulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can give informed consent and follow study instructions
- You are fluent in English
- You have no past neurological or psychiatric diagnosis
- You are not currently taking “psychotropic” (mental health/brain-acting) medications
- You are not using substances or medicines that can interfere with the stimulation’s effect
- You have no reasons you can’t receive tACS (for example: seizure history, metal implants in head/neck, implanted brain or nerve devices, or a pacemaker; and you are not pregnant)

This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with schizophrenia. It involves 10 daily sessions and may help with daily functioning.
This trial studies a “closed-loop” brain stimulation approach to improve symptoms in people with early Alzheimer’s-related memory problems. It may help by delivering stimulation based on your brain signals, if you meet the safety and diagnosis requirements.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device (tES) can improve thinking and movement problems in people with dementia. You (and your caregiver, if needed) will be asked to follow the study plan and attend visits so researchers can measure results and safety.
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method to see if it can improve memory in healthy older adults. It uses carefully chosen doses to find the best approach.
This study is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with memory training, can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their working memory. You'll have MRI scans and attend training sessions.
