Cognitive Enhancement Through Model-based and Individualized Neurostimulation

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of transcranial electric stimulation on attentional control and brain dynamics in healthy adults. The main questions are: Does stimulation affect how subjects exert attentional control? Do mathematical models predict brain activity changes in response to stimulation? Participants will have electroencephalography (EEG) brain data recorded while: They sit relaxed They receive stimulation, while relaxed They receive stimulation while completing computerized tasks to measure cognitive abilities ("cognitive tasks") They receive sham (ineffective) stimulation during cognitive tasks

Conditions

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES)
