Summary

This study tests if combining a gentle electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) with computer-based memory games can improve thinking and memory in adults over 60 with recurrent depression. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups to compare active stimulation plus targeted training against placebo versions. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can sharpen executive functions like planning and focus.
