Summary

This study compares two types of brain stimulation—electrical and magnetic—to see which one better improves working memory. 102 healthy adults will perform memory tasks while receiving stimulation, and their brain activity will be recorded with EEG. The goal is to find out if magnetic stimulation is more comfortable and effective at reaching deep brain areas.
