First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve attention and change brain activity in healthy adults aged 18 to 45. Seventeen participants had their brain waves recorded while they rested or performed computer tasks, both with real and fake stimulation. The goal was to see if mathematical models can predict how the brain responds to stimulation.
