Zapping the brain without surgery: new technique tested in healthy volunteers

NCT ID NCT07339072

First seen Jan 16, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests a new non-invasive method called temporal interference (TI) to stimulate deep brain regions using harmless electrical currents. Researchers will scan the brains of 30 healthy adults aged 18-50 to see if TI can safely activate deep areas without affecting the outer brain. The goal is to understand how these deep regions work and to lay the groundwork for future treatments of conditions like addiction, OCD, and Parkinson's disease.
