First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can change how young adults with social anxiety pay attention to, interpret, and remember social information. 74 participants aged 18-24 completed tasks measuring these thinking patterns after receiving the stimulation. The goal was to understand the brain's role in social anxiety, not to provide a treatment.
