A study participant wearing an electrode cap to measure brain
activity while undertaking a task |
Participants aged 56 to 75 years are being sought for a research
project using brain stimulation to enhance cognitive performance and
neural plasticity. Participation will involve completing a series of cognitive tasks
both before and after administration of transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS). tDCS is a safe, painless and non-invasive means of
stimulating nerve cells in the brain. Changes in brain activity before
and after tDCS will be measured through the use of Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG).
The research is conducted at the
Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre. Participants are required to attend for a single session only
(approx. 3.5 hours), and will be reimbursed $30 for their time.
