First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study uses a gentle, noninvasive technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) along with EEG to see how brain rhythms influence working memory. Researchers will test 32 healthy adults on memory tasks before and during stimulation. The goal is to understand how brain waves work together, not to treat any condition.
