Study on Music Performance Using Brain Stimulation

We are conducting a study to see how safe and tolerable a technique called *transcranial direct current stimulation* (tDCS) is for young musicians. tDCS is a method where a small electric current is passed through your brain to see if it affects how you play an instrument or sing. This study is for musicians aged 12 to 16 who have been practicing music regularly for at least a year. It involves one session where a previously learned musical piece is performed before and after the tDCS.

• Length and Visits: One session lasting a few hours, including breaks.
• Participation: 24 young musicians will be chosen at random.
• Safety: Health screenings will ensure safety, and a checklist will monitor any side effects.

Participants should be in good health and not have any conditions or devices that might interfere with the study. Parental consent and a participant's agreement are required to join. If you meet these criteria and are interested, you might be eligible to participate.
