Mindfulness, eating behaviours and neuromodulation (MINDED)
We are now conducting a study of a new intervention for people affected by overweight or obesity who are looking for support to lose weight and improve their mood. This new treatment combines transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a safe and non-invasive form of brain stimulation, combined with guided mindfulness training.
Both tDCS and mindfulness training have been shown to have a positive impact on eating behaviours and mood when used on their own. We will be looking to see whether these benefits are enhanced when the treatments are combined.
