Zapping the brain for focus: new study tests electric stimulation
NCT ID NCT06235970
First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve attention and focus in healthy adults aged 18 to 45. Seventeen participants had their brain activity recorded with EEG while receiving real or fake stimulation and performing computer tasks. The goal was to see if mathematical models could predict how the brain responds to stimulation, not to treat any disease.
