How brain activity affects working memory
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial measures how brain activity relates to working memory (the ability to hold information in mind). It uses electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive way to record brain waves, while you perform memory tasks. The study may help understand how different brain signals support memory in healthy young adults.

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.
This study tests whether changing brain activity can improve working memory in teens who have ADHD and trouble remembering and holding information in mind. You and your parent will answer questionnaires, and brain imaging/brain-stimulation testing (MRI/TMS) may be used, with compensation for each session.
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.
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.
This study looks at brain activity patterns in healthy adults. You'll have an MRI and a non-invasive brain stimulation session (TMS) to help researchers understand how the brain works. If you're already in The BrainHealth Project, this is a chance to learn more about your own brain health.
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.
