Summary

This study looks at adults with restrictive eating disorders who are currently receiving outpatient treatment for their eating disorder to examine whether a new brain stimulation technique called non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can enhance brain training. Participation involves interviews, assessments, 10 sessions of brain stimulation (active or sham), and computerized brain training over a 3-4 week period, with one post-intervention visit, and one 1-month follow-up visit.

Conditions

  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Atypical Anorexia Nervosa

Interventions

DEVICE

Active tDCS sessions, StarStim device

10 active sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation paired with cognitive training tasks. Device used is StarStim.

DEVICE

Sham (fake) tDCS sessions

10 fake sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation paired with cognitive training tasks. The device will be on the participants head, but the current will not be active.
