Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrical stimulation device

Temporal Interference (TI) stimulation is a non-invasive neuromodulation method which allows focal electrical stimulation of deep brain structures without affecting overlying cortical regions. Areas will be targeted based on tasks being administered under TI and will include areas associated with fear/anxiety expression and inhibition, reward, and general affective processing including cortical areas. Two carrier electric fields offset by a small amount (5-130Hz) will occur during stimulation. Stimulation will be applied between the pairs of electrodes with a current up to a maximum of between 8mA (TI outside the scanner) and 10mA (TI inside the scanner) with envelope frequencies between 1hz-200hz. Multipolar TI will also be used with multiple locations that can be targeted for stimulation by adding more pairs of electrodes.

DEVICE

TI stimulation device

Electrodes will be placed in the same locations used for the TI intervention; either a carrier frequency or no electrical current will be delivered to the brain.
