First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested a brain stimulation technique called tDCS on 16 adults in a minimally conscious state. Researchers used EEG brainwave monitoring to find the best time of day to apply the stimulation, when patients were most alert. The goal was to see if this timed stimulation could temporarily improve their level of awareness.
