Brain zap study aims to boost reading in dyslexic adults

This study explores whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can enhance reading-related learning. Sixty adults aged 18-35 with varying reading abilities will perform a letter-sound learning task while receiving either real stimulation or a sham (fake) version. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) and behavioral tests to compare effects between the two groups. The goal is to understand how stimulation affects brain activity and learning, not to provide a treatment.
