Summary
This study tested whether a single session of non-invasive brain stimulation (alpha-tACS) could make people more flexible in their habits. Seven healthy adults, including some with risky drinking histories, received either real or fake stimulation while performing a computer task. Researchers measured brain activity and chemical levels to see if the stimulation changed how the brain works.
