Summary
This study looked at whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can temporarily improve attention and impulse control in adults with ADHD. Researchers compared 83 people with and without ADHD using computer tasks that measure focus and decision-making. The goal was to understand how the brain responds to stimulation, not to provide a lasting treatment.
