Summary

The main goal of this research is to determine the role of several brain regions in memory processes and cognitive functions. Participants will be remotely supervised via video chat while self-administering tDCS, a form of non-invasive brain stimulation. Before participating in the experiment, participants will be properly trained on use of the remote tDCS device and screened for eligibility. While using the tDCS device, participants will be engaging in tasks that assess different aspects of memory and executive functioning. By using remotely supervised tDCS while participants are completing these cognitive tasks, we will be able to make causal claims about the role of the targeted brain regions in different cognitive processes.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

DEVICE

remotely supervised transcranial direct current stimulation

Low levels of electrical current are applied across the scalp to induce small changes in brain activity. This is done using remote supervision.
