Brain Stimulation and Decision-Making Study

This study is looking at how brain areas, like the cingulate cortex, help people make tough choices, especially in those with depression. People with depression often have trouble making decisions. Researchers will use special brain stimulation tools called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Temporal Interference (TI) to see how they affect decision-making. TMS and TI send safe magnetic signals to the brain to study its role in decision tasks. Participants will play game-like tasks while receiving this stimulation. The study aims to learn about decision-making and may help understand how it's different in people with mental health issues.

  • This study includes both healthy individuals and those with depression.
  • Participants will need to attend sessions where they play tasks and receive TMS or TI.
  • Pregnant women, people with certain medical devices, or those on specific medications may not qualify.

Participation is voluntary, and all participants need to speak English and not be using drugs. Pregnant women, people with certain medical conditions, or those using specific medications cannot participate.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
