Study Summary

This study uses two different types of interventions including electrical brain stimulation delivered during sleep, and brief, daily meditation training. The investigators are trying to figure out whether these techniques, either alone or in combination with each other, can positively impact the brain networks that support our ability to think flexibly and to regulate our emotions. 48 participants will be enrolled into each of 2 phases and can expect to be on study for up to 9 months.

Primary Outcome

The PHQ-9 is a 9-item inventory asking participants to rate from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly everyday) the frequency and intensity of depressive symptoms experienced by the respondent over the preceding two-week period. Scores range from 0 to 27 where higher scores indicate poorer patient health. Participants with scores greater than 15 will be excluded from study.
