No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is designed to investigate multitasking deficits, with a particular interest in reducing costs related to dual-tasking (dividing attention between tasks) and task-switching (switching between tasks) using noninvasive brain stimulation.

Conditions

  • Cognitive Change

Interventions

OTHER

Stimulation via noninvasive brain stimulation systems

Active (at or below 2mA) stimulation targeting brain regions engaged in task-switching and dual-tasking for 30-40 minutes. Local IRB has determined the Soterix, Neuroelectrics, \& Halo devices to be non-significant risk (NSR) devices via abbreviated investigational device exemption (IDE) procedure.
