Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can help people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) find words more easily. About 24 adults with a TBI at least one year ago will receive either real or fake stimulation during word and memory tests. The goal is to see if this approach can ease the frustrating symptom of word-finding difficulty.
