Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS could improve memory in 26 older adults with mild memory problems and a history of traumatic brain injury.

The goal was to see if this could boost their ability to learn and recall words and visual information, both right after treatment and three months later.
