NCT ID NCT06673303

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how the brain uses 'noise'—random variations in brain cell activity—to help people learn. Researchers tested 47 healthy adults using brain scans and computer models to see if this noise makes learning faster or more efficient. The goal was to understand a basic brain process, not to treat any disease.
