Effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on stress regulation: an EEG and questionnaire study
By demonstrating distinctive EEG and behavioral differences between taVNS and sham stimulation, this study provides a neurophysiological basis for taVNS as a non-invasive intervention for stress regulation. Future research involving a more diverse participant pool and optimization of taVNS parameters will further clarify its therapeutic potential.
