BackgroundAnxiety and depression are both characterised by difficulties in emotion regulation, associated with altered cortical oscillatory activity. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may modulate these dynamics, but few studies have examined stimulation intensity alongside both tolerability and EEG outcomes.MethodsIn this controlled pilot, ten healthy female adults (21.1 ±…
