MEM_MOD Trial Summary
This trial tests if brain stimulation can help relearn motor skills, like posture in golf or piano playing, and if it can help those with chronic pain or after a stroke.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults who can use a computer with internet, are 18 or older (with two-thirds being over 60), and can give consent. It's not for pregnant individuals, those with head injuries, brain conditions, metal in the head/neck, severe claustrophobia, neurological disorders, history of seizures or certain medications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if non-invasive brain stimulation (tACS) combined with behavioral tasks can change existing motor memories and aid new skill learning. Participants will also receive sham stimulation as a comparison while their brain activity is monitored using EEG.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from tACS may include mild discomfort at the electrode sites on the scalp, tingling sensations during stimulation, fatigue after sessions or headaches. Serious side effects are rare but could involve seizure risk in susceptible individuals.
