Summary

This study tests a device called ZenBud that uses ultrasound (sound waves) to stimulate the vagus nerve, which controls things like heart rate and digestion. Researchers want to see if this method causes any changes in the body, emotions, or thinking of 30 healthy adults. This is not a treatment study — it aims to find out if ultrasound stimulation works better than electrical stimulation for future therapies.
