Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if combining brain stimulation with cognitive training can improve thinking skills in older adults who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The main questions are:

* Does transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) make cognitive training more effective for improving attention, memory, and decision-making?
* Is this type of home-based program feasible and acceptable for older adults with TBI?

Researchers will compare two groups: one group will receive active tDCS during cognitive training, and the other group will receive sham (placebo) tDCS during cognitive training.

Participants will:

* Complete computer-based cognitive training exercises (BrainHQ) to practice attention, memory, and decision-making.
* Receive either active or sham tDCS during training sessions.
* Complete assessments before and after the program to measure changes in thinking and daily functioning.

Conditions

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Active tDCS and Cognitive Training Intervention

Forty-five minutes of cognitive training concurrent with 2 mAmps of anodal stimulation applied to the left frontal cortex for the first 20 minutes of the session.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Sham tDCS and Cognitive Training Intervention

Forty-five minutes of cognitive training concurrent with sham tDCS (30 secs ramp up/ramp down of current at beginning and end of session).
