Study Summary
This is a functional MRI study that will examine the effects of noninvasive transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) on brain function in individuals with Major Depression.
Primary Outcome
Blood-oxygenation-level-dependent functional MRI will be used to measure changes in the temporal coherence (functional connectivity) amongst brain regions before, during, and after tES.
Interventions
- DEVICE Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES)
