Summary
This study involved 16 adults with epilepsy who already had brain electrodes placed for surgery. Researchers used mild, painless electrical stimulation to see if it could change how the brain processes positive, negative, or neutral images. The goal was to learn more about brain areas involved in emotions, which could help develop future treatments for conditions like PTSD and memory loss.
