No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether a type of electrical brain stimulation, called temporal interference stimulation, can temporarily change the way different parts of the brain communicate with each other.

Participants will:

* Complete two stimulation phases - overnight and during wakefulness
* Undergo two MRIs per study phase

Conditions

  • Healthy Participants

Interventions

DEVICE

Temporal Interference Transcranial electrical stimulation (TI-TES)

TI-TES uses specific electrode arrangement patterns to selectively stimulate the brain. Participants will wear an hdEEG (high density electroencephalography) cap which will allow intermittent periods of stimulation from TI-TES.

DEVICE

Sham stimulation

Sham (ramp only) stimulation will briefly ramp up and down at the beginning and end of each stimulation train, without delivering continuous stimulation throughout.
