Zapping the brain to sharpen focus: new hope for veterans with concussion

This study tested a new way to help active duty service members who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) at least 6 months ago and still have trouble concentrating or remembering things. Researchers used a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS combined with cognitive training exercises to see if it could improve attention and working memory. The study involved 56 participants and measured brain activity, thinking tests, and symptom reports to compare real tDCS versus a sham (fake) version.
