ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a technique called transcranial oscillatory direct current stimulation, which is a non-invasive method that sends small electrical currents to the brain. Researchers want to see how this stimulation affects the brain's ability to function, particularly in healthy individuals. The goal is to understand its impact on the brain's excitability and the activity patterns measured by EEG (a test that records electrical activity in the brain).

To participate in this study, you must be a healthy male aged between 20 and 30 years old, with no history of brain or mental health issues. Participants will undergo tests to make sure they are healthy and right-handed. If you join the study, you will help researchers learn more about brain functions, and you'll be part of an important scientific investigation. Please note that individuals with serious health issues, past brain surgeries, or certain medical devices are not eligible to participate.
