Gentle brain stimulation for young musicians
This trial tests a safe, gentle type of brain stimulation called tDCS to see if it can help teenagers who play instruments perform better. It might be an option for young musicians who want to improve their playing skills.

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can safely improve vocal performance in teen singers. It may help you sing better by temporarily boosting brain areas involved in voice control.
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 tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it improves memory and thinking in healthy young and older adults. It aims to help understand if this technique could benefit cognitive function.
This trial tests whether repeated, brain-based stimulation (done through the scalp) can improve symptoms in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, and whether a later “booster” session adds more benefit. It may help learn which stimulation schedule works best, especially when teens also have attention symptoms—but not epilepsy or mood/anxiety disorders.
This trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) over multiple sessions can improve thinking, behavior, and brain activity in adults with autism. It may help researchers learn if this safe, noninvasive treatment can support better daily functioning.
This study tests whether a gentle form of brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) combined with resistance exercises can help healthy young adults learn motor skills faster. If you are a right-handed young adult without certain health conditions, you may be able to join.
