We are actively recruiting participants for a study seeking to evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation for recovering cognitive performance after sleep deprivation.

It has been proven that the application of a weak electrical current to an area of the brain can safely be used as a fatigue countermeasure to mitigate decrements in vigilance and enhance cognitive performance in various research settings. The purpose of this study is to simultaneously collect biological signals and cognitive function metrics over a 25hr period of sleep deprivation from subjects that have received brain stimulation to fully understand how it can act as a fatigue counter measure.

The lab is excited to welcome Amir to our research team as a seasoned PhD Student!
