This research aims to explore various transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) methods to identify the most effective procedure for modulating brain activity to enhance memory and mood. By understanding how tACS can benefit cognitive and emotional functions, we hope to inform future treatments for mental health conditions.
The study will recruit 60 healthy individuals aged 18-50, who will be blinded to the tACS procedures. Participants will undergo three sessions featuring different tACS conditions and throughout these sessions, participants will complete-computer based tasks designed to assess cognitive performance and mood. The findings of the study will advance our understanding of tACS as a potential treatment for various mental health conditions by providing crucial insights into its effects on brain activity, memory and mood.
