Brain and decision tasks to study learning
This study tests how people learn from choices and make decisions using computer tasks. Some participants also complete brain scans (MRI) to see how the brain activity matches behavior.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 45 years old
- Be in generally good health
- For the MRI part: be right-handed
- For the MRI part: be able to safely do an MRI scan (no unsafe metal/implants, and not too claustrophobic)
- No major past brain/nerve disorders or serious head injury

This study uses MRI scans to check and improve how medical teams measure brain changes. If you’re eligible, you’ll complete MRI safety screening and imaging while the team studies which scan measurements work best.
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 looks at how blood flow in the brain changes while you are thinking. You will do tasks while having brain scans to help researchers understand normal brain activity.
This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.
This study uses brain scans (MRI and MEG) to see if we can predict when someone will make a mistake while performing a skill. It aims to understand brain activity related to errors in healthy young adults.
This study looks at how the brain handles motivation, learning, and decision-making when situations change. You'll have MRI scans and do tasks to help researchers understand these processes in healthy adults.
