Zapping the brain to boost reading skills: new study tests electric stimulation for dyslexia
NCT ID NCT07546292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a gentle electrical current applied to the brain (called transcranial random noise stimulation) can improve how adults learn to connect letters with sounds — a key skill for reading. Researchers will enroll 60 right-handed, German-speaking adults aged 18-35 with varying reading abilities. Participants will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation while doing a reading task, and their brain activity will be measured using MRI scans.
