Can a magnetic field improve working memory?
This study tests whether a weak, alternating magnetic field can temporarily improve how well you hold and use information in your mind (working memory). If you are a fluent French speaker with normal vision (with contact lenses), you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your brain works when you focus your eyes and think hard. It uses an MRI and gentle brain stimulation (like a small magnetic pulse) to see how your brain cells act together.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
This study tests whether a brain-magnetic (TMS) training approach can improve how people learn and control movements. It’s done in healthy adults to understand how mental training affects motor learning.
This study tests a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation method to help people with memory, especially remembering facts over time. It compares healthy adults and adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), using sessions plus brain scans and memory testing.
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 magnetic stimulation of the brain can improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's. You would receive a gentle magnetic pulse to a specific area of your head during several sessions.
