Can a tickle in your ear help you learn faster?

NCT ID NCT05386563

Summary

This small study explored whether a gentle, non-invasive stimulation of a nerve in the ear could change pupil size and affect how quickly people learn a simple computer task. Researchers tested the stimulation against fake (sham) settings in 12 healthy adults. The goal was to gather basic knowledge about how this nerve might influence brain activity and learning, not to treat any medical condition.
