Brain stimulation study for younger and older adults
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method (tDCS) can improve attention and “thinking control,” and how brain activity changes during tasks. It also uses brain imaging (MRI), so safety and comfort conditions must be met.
This study tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills. It is for healthy adults who are native English speakers and right-handed.
This study tests how a mild electrical brain stimulation called tDCS might help healthy young adults learn new motor skills. You'll receive either active or sham tDCS while practicing a hand movement task over 4 weeks.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) affects heart health and physical function in older adults living in the community. Researchers want to see if this treatment could help improve circulation and overall wellness in aging.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
