Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve thinking skills like memory and attention in veterans who have both traumatic brain injury and PTSD. About 46 veterans will receive either real or fake stimulation at home while doing computer-based brain exercises. The goal is to see if this approach can ease cognitive symptoms and help with emotional control.
