RECRUITING NA

Cognitive Augmentation Via Multimodal Sensing and Auricular Neurostimulation

NCT06782360 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to extend this period of optimal cognitive performance by applying neurostimulation to buffer health volunteers against the effects of increased levels of stress, distraction, and cybersickness. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can we use OpenBCI's head-mounted Galea biosensor + eXtended Reality (XR) platform to measure participants' cognitive state in relation to stress, attention and cybersickness? * How does applying external neurostimulation via Spark Biomedical's Sparrow Link transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) system enhance cognitive performance with a closed-loop interface that automatically applies neurostimulation as a function of physiologically determined stress, attention, and cybersickness metrics? Researchers will compare the active neurostimulation group to the sham neurostimulation group to see if cognitive performance is improved with stimulation. Participants will complete 4 virtual reality tasks in the lab: * 2 tasks related to attention - Flanker and Gradual-onset Continual Performance Task (GradCPT) * The Multi-Attribute Task Battery (MATB) * A cybersickness task * And a baseline session before each task * Neurostimulation intervention will occur in response to cognitive states

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06782360

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06782360 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is OpenBCI, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with Healthy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Active Neurostimulation is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06782360 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
