Investigating the Effects of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation on Cognitive Function
Ethics Reference: 104419
We are currently recruiting healthy adults 61 years and older for a study examining whether non-invasive brain stimulation can support attention, memory, and brain function in healthy aging. The study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS, a non-invasive and safe technique that delivers brief magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain. Participants will also complete computerized tasks of memory and attention while we record brain activity using fNIRS, a non-invasive brain imaging method.
The study takes place over 10 sessions across two weeks, Monday to Friday. The first and last sessions take approximately 1.5 hours, while sessions 2–9 take approximately 15 minutes each. We are looking for adults who are fluent in English and have no history of neurological conditions (e.g., stroke), seizures, pacemakers, or metal implants. Participants receive $100 for taking part, and parking is free.
