Study Summary
The purpose of this research is to understand how a neurostimulation technique, transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), affects brain function in adults with chronic subjective tinnitus measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This study targets a specific kind of tES called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), where a mild, constant current is passed between electrodes placed on the scalp.
Primary Outcome
Functional MRI will measure changes in brain function during tDCS. Specifically, the investigators will measure change in functional connectivity of prefrontal cortex (% change in Fisher's z).
