First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at how a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference (TI) might improve social reward processing in people with depression. Researchers will use brain scans and electrical recordings to see how stimulation changes brain activity related to social interactions. The goal is to understand the brain circuits behind social difficulties in depression, not to test a cure. 120 adults aged 16-60 with major depression are being recruited.
