New treatment option for Healthy Adult Participants
Official title Overcoming the Barriers to Effective Transcranial Temporal Interference Stimulation in Humans
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07593859
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TIS) is an emerging novel tool for non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation that holds the potential for focal and steerable neuromodulation, and the possibility to stimulate focally at depth. TIS involves combining two high frequency waveforms to create a waveform with a "beat" frequency that is physiological relevant for neuromodulation.
