Scientists zap brains to map connections
NCT ID NCT05959551
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a gentle brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS changes the way different parts of the brain talk to each other. Researchers will test 100 healthy adults to measure brain activity and blood flow before and after stimulation. The goal is to learn more about how the stimulation works, not to treat any disease.
