Summary

This study tests a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the ear to stimulate the vagus nerve. Researchers want to see if it can improve attention and memory in 30 veterans with traumatic brain injury, depression, or PTSD. Participants will try both the real stimulation and a sham (placebo) version in one visit to compare effects.
