Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) could reduce negative thinking patterns in 74 young adults with social anxiety. Participants received either real or fake stimulation and then completed computer tasks measuring attention, interpretation, and memory biases. The goal was to see if a single session could temporarily shift these cognitive biases.
