Mental imagery study for people with and without aphantasia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares how people who cannot create mental pictures (aphantasia) and people who can perform motor imagery tasks and undergo noninvasive brain stimulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lifelong inability to create mental images (aphantasia) OR you have typical mental imagery abilities
- You are covered by French public health insurance
- You understand French
- You do not have any current or past medical, neurological, or mental health condition
- You do not have pain or movement problems in your arms
- You do not play a musical instrument more than once a week

This study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation called tACS to see if it can help improve short-term memory for sounds and words in people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. If you have aphasia from a left-brain stroke, this treatment might help your brain relearn how to remember and repeat what you hear.
This trial tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) to speech therapy helps people with aphasia (trouble speaking) after a stroke. If you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have trouble naming objects, this study may be a good fit.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current (tACS) applied to the scalp can improve language abilities in people with aphasia after a stroke. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
This trial tests whether gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation (tACS) can improve speech and language (aphasia) after stroke. You may be asked to do language and thinking tests before and after the stimulation to see if it helps.
This trial tests whether targeted mild brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech therapy results for people with long-lasting (chronic) aphasia after a stroke. It may help strengthen naming and communication when added to standard speech-language treatment.
