Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of using transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) to enhance cognitive recovery in patients with mild-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Primary Outcome

In the n-back task, participants are presented a series of visual stimuli. They are asked for each stimulus whether it matches a stimulus n trials before. For example, in a 2-back task, in which the trials consist of letters, participants have to decide whether the current letter is the same as the letter in trial n - 2. We will use a computerized version of this task.
