The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of a procedure called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) using a device called StarStim cap and its effects on drug cravings.
Participants will undergo a 1-2-day screening that includes a urine drug screen, clinical interview, and self-reporting assessments, once screening is complete, participants will complete a (EEG) recording of your brainwaves. The EEG recording and electrode placement will take about 2 hours. The next portion of the study will involve the use of the StarStim device and an MRI, and you will be asked a series of questions while wearing the device. The day after the MRI scan you will receive a short phone call from study staff. You will be asked to participate in study visits for 2 or 3 days and h…
