Official Title: Evaluating the Effects of tDCS on Sleep and Cognition in Healthy Older Adults: A Randomised Controlled Trial Using a Nap Design
Brief Summary:
The goal of this interventional study is to learn if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a gentle, cost-effective and non-invasive brain stimulation technique can improve sleep brain activity during an afternoon nap. Since these sleep brain patterns are linked to better memory, attention, and thinking skills, this study aims to find out if improving sleep in a nap can also enhance these cognitive skills in healthy older adults (aged 60+).The main questions it aims to answer are:* Can a short…
