Study on brain stimulation and meditation for healthy adults
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with meditation helps people let go of their sense of self (ego-disengagement). You may be eligible if you are a healthy adult who meditates regularly.

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people become more mindful and less attached to their ego. You'll do simple meditation tasks and brain scans to see how your brain changes.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can change brain activity in two specific areas of the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. The results may help in developing treatments for conditions that affect movement.
This study uses gentle magnetic pulses on the head to safely test different brain stimulation settings. It helps find the best parameters for future treatments.
This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see how it affects how people process information. It may help researchers understand brain function in healthy younger and older adults.
This study uses a new type of brain stimulation (temporal interference) to see if it can safely change brain activity. It is for healthy adults who want to help researchers learn more about how the brain works.
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (tES). It uses a head cap and an MRI scanner to look at how the brain responds, which may help improve treatments for brain disorders.
