Study how brain networks help with decision-making
This study looks at how a specific brain area and its connections (in the orbitofrontal cortex) affect how people make choices. You may be asked to do decision-related tasks while your brain is measured to better understand this system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Do not have major mental health conditions (like schizophrenia, severe depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or substance use disorder)
- Avoid certain situations: pregnancy, implanted medical devices, metal in the body, or MRI/clutter anxiety (claustrophobia)

This study uses brain scans to learn how different parts of the brain connect and communicate in healthy people. If you join, you will help researchers better understand normal brain function.
This study looks at how your brain works when you focus your eyes and think hard. It uses an MRI and gentle brain stimulation (like a small magnetic pulse) to see how your brain cells act together.
This trial uses brain scans and noninvasive brain stimulation to study how people make decisions. It may help researchers understand brain signals involved in choices and potentially improve future treatments.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can improve how people learn and make decisions. It is for healthy adults who are right-handed.
This study uses gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (like a magnetic pulse) to understand how healthy people make decisions. If you join, you will perform simple tasks while your brain activity is briefly affected, which may reveal how your choices work.
This study uses brain imaging to understand how the prefrontal cortex helps with decision-making. Researchers are looking at healthy adults and people with mild to moderate depression to see if decision-making differs between groups.
