This study is designed to investigate multitasking deficits, with a particular interest in reducing costs related to dual-tasking (dividing attention between tasks) and task-switching (switching between tasks) using noninvasive brain stimulation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Stimulation | Experimental | Active stimulation of targeted brain regions involved in task-switching and dual-tasking. |
|
| Sham Stimulation | Sham Comparator | Sham stimulation of targeted brain regions involved in task-switching and dual-tasking. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stimulation via noninvasive brain stimulation systems | Other | Active (at or below 2mA) stimulation targeting brain regions engaged in task-switching and dual-tasking for 30-40 minutes. Local IRB has determined the Soterix, Neuroelectrics, & Halo devices to be non-significant risk (NSR) devices via abbreviated investigational device exemption (IDE) procedure. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Response accuracy | Measuring accuracy (correct vs. incorrect answers) of responses to stimuli while dividing attention and switching between tasks | 4 hours |
| Response latency | Measuring the amount of time (seconds) from when stimulus is presented to when participant answers prompt | 4 hours |
