Can you take part?

  • Ages 18 years to 50 years.
  • Open to any sex.
  • Healthy volunteers can take part.

These are the headline rules only. Every study has a longer list, and whether you are eligible is decided by the research team at the site — never by this page.

Read the full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Medically healthy (based on self-report and study team review)
* U.S. citizen or holding permanent resident status
* English-speaking (able to provide consent and complete questionnaires)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Current or past history of clinically significant neurological disorder or acquired neurological disease (e.g., stroke, traumatic brain injury), including intracranial lesions (including clinically significant findings identified on the structural MRI)
* History of inpatient psychiatric hospitalization
* History of head trauma resulting in prolonged loss of consciousness; or a history of \>3 grade I concussions
* Current poorly controlled headaches, including intractable or frequent migraines
* Any systemic illness or unstable medical condition that may cause a medical emergency in case of a provoked seizure (cardiac malformation, cardiac dysrhythmia, asthma, etc.)
* History of seizures, diagnosis of epilepsy, history of abnormal (epileptiform) EEG, or family history of treatment resistant epilepsy except for a single seizure of benign etiology (e.g. febrile seizures) in the judgment of a board-certified neurologist
* Possible pregnancy or plan to become pregnant in the next 6 months (self reported)
* Any metal in the head or body
* Any medical devices or implants (i.e. cardiac pacemaker, medication infusion pump, cochlear implant, vagal nerve stimulator)
* Dental implants
* Permanent retainers
* Any hair braid, dreadlocks, hair pieces, or extensions which cannot be taken out before the study sessions
* Any head coverings or headdress that participant feels uncomfortable removing for the purposes of study sessions
* Current use of medications known to substantially lower seizure threshold, specifically chlorpromazine, clozapine, bupropion, clomipramine, or maprotiline; or other medications at doses known to substantially lower seizure threshold in the judgment of the PI
* Active scalp lesions, broken skin, or skin conditions at planned electrode sites that would preclude safe electrode application
* Claustrophobia (a fear of small or closed places)
* Back problems that would prevent lying flat for up to two hours

What this study is about

In the sponsor’s own words, from the registry.

This study is to find out whether and how a type of non-invasive electrical brain stimulation called transcranial electrical stimulation with temporal interference (TES-TI) can temporarily change brain activity in healthy adults. A structural MRI scan will be used to customize where the stimulation electrodes are placed for each participant to deliver TES-TI during three afternoon sessions at rest with eyes closed. Brain activity is recorded with high-density EEG. Up to 24 participants will be enrolled and on study for 3 to 12 weeks.
