Zapping the ear to map the brain: scientists probe a new wellness technique
NCT ID NCT05801809
Summary
This study aims to understand how a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the ear affects brain activity and the body's automatic nervous system. Researchers are testing this on 44 healthy volunteers to see how it changes brain wave patterns and heart rate variability. The goal is to gather basic science data to inform future studies on using this technique for conditions like pain, depression, or anxiety.
