Summary
This study looks at whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tTIS) can help people feel less negative emotions like fear and pain. It also tests if what doctors say about the treatment changes how well it works. About 190 healthy adults will take part, receiving either real or fake stimulation and either positive or negative messages about its effects.
