Summary
This study involved 16 adults with epilepsy who already had brain electrodes in place for surgery. Researchers used tiny, painless electrical pulses to stimulate the amygdala while participants viewed emotional images. The goal was to learn how brain stimulation changes emotional processing, which could one day help treat conditions like PTSD and memory loss.
