Summary

This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with cognitive training, can help veterans with obesity reduce impulsive behavior and lose weight. About 124 veterans will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake stimulation during training sessions. The goal is to see if this approach can improve self-control and lead to lasting weight loss.
