This study is a world first, examining the use of a novel technology to treat depression by stimulating the brain mildly and non invasively. The study will examine the effectiveness of a 4-week course of Transcranial “Random Noise” Stimulation to treat depression, and will also measure whether improvement in mood is accompanied by a restoration of brain plasticity or adaptability.

这项研究是世界上第一次，通过温和和非侵入性地刺激大脑来研究使用新技术治疗抑郁症。该研究将检查为期4周的经颅“随机噪音”刺激治疗抑郁症的有效性，并将测量情绪的改善是否伴随着大脑可塑性或适应性的恢复。
