Brain stimulation study for healthy adults: testing safety and effects
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a generally healthy adult, as assessed by your own report and a quick medical review.
- You are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
- You can speak and understand English well enough to give consent and fill out questionnaires.
- You have no history of major brain conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, or significant head injury.
- You have no metal in your head or body, and no implanted medical devices such as pacemakers or cochlear implants.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the trial.

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 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 trial tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that isn't helped by current treatments. It uses a non-invasive method that may offer a new option for controlling seizures.
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation during sleep to see how it affects brain activity. If you are a healthy adult without certain medical conditions, you may help researchers understand how this stimulation works.
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 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.
