This study is testing a novel neuromodulation method capable of directly targeting deep brain regions—temporal interference (TI)—to enhance emotion regulation. Pilot data show that, compared to sham stimulation, TI targeting the ventral striatium (VS) during breath-focused mindfulness (BFM) enhances neural markers of reward processing (measured via electroencephalography, EEG) and reduces...
