Details and patient eligibility
About
The goal is to replicate in-lab results from transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) with at-home tACS.
Full description
Participants will be assessed in-lab on multitasking and sustained attention abilities. Participants will be sent home with a tACS device to be used at-home for five days while engaged in a multitasking paradigm that is different from the multitasking outcome measure used pre/post tACS. After the at-home stimulation is complete, participants return to UCSF for a final in-lab assessment of multitasking and sustained attention ability.
