Brain stimulation study for social thinking
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve social cognition (how we understand and interact with others). It is for healthy adults who are not on psychiatric medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You are generally healthy and do not have any major medical conditions.
- You have not been taking daily psychiatric medications (like antidepressants, anti-anxiety, or mood stabilizers) in the past 90 days.
- You are able to undergo an MRI scan (no metal implants, no claustrophobia, not pregnant).
- You are not at high risk for suicide based on a screening questionnaire.

This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help improve social thinking and understanding in people with psychosis. Researchers want to see if this treatment can boost how you read social cues and connect with others.
This trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (TMS) over the temporoparietal junction can improve a social thinking skill called 'mentalizing' in adults with autism. You would have MRI scans, cognitive tasks, and several TMS sessions.
This trial tests if a brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (TIS) can help improve cognitive problems (like memory and attention) in people with schizophrenia. You may join if you are between 18 and 50, have had schizophrenia for no more than 8 years, take 1-2 antipsychotic medicines, and have some trouble with daily activities.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve how people understand social situations and process information. Researchers will use MRI scans to see how the brain changes during the treatment.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (TIS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if this treatment, combined with antipsychotic medications, can help you think more clearly and function better in daily life.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation. Researchers want to understand how to make it work better and safer in humans.
