Clinical Trial: Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Using Tdcs of the Third (of Many) Visual Pathways

U.S., March 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07469384) titled 'Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Using Tdcs of the Third (of Many) Visual Pathways' on Feb. 20.

Brief Summary: This study investigates the ability of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the motion processing area of the brain (area MT) to improve face emotion recognition (FER) ability. tDCS is a type of non-invasive brain stimulation in which low level currents are applied over the scalp to influence underlying brain function. In schizophrenia, impaired ability to detect facial motion has been shown to contribute to impaired FER, which, in turn, leads to difficulties in social cognition and poor social outcome...
