First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tested a non-invasive technique called traveling wave brain stimulation in 9 adults with epilepsy who already had electrodes implanted for monitoring. The goal was to see if this gentle electrical stimulation could improve working memory and change how different brain regions talk to each other. While the approach is experimental, it helps researchers understand how to safely influence large-scale brain networks.
