Effects of 3mA HD-tDCS on Associative and Working Memory in Cognitively Intact Older Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active HD-tDCS and Sham HD-tDCS for Cognitive Change. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
As we age, a number of factors can reduce our cognitive (or thinking) abilities. This study will evaluate whether transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), which uses small amounts of electricity to modulate brain functioning, can improve cognitive abilities. Here, the effects of TES on working memory, learning, and memory, will be evaluated in a group of healthy older adults.
