Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, done at home, could improve thinking and language skills in people with primary progressive aphasia, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia. Participants used a headset to stimulate a key brain area while doing computer-based cognitive exercises. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
