Brain imaging study of how healthy people make decisions
This study looks at brain activity in healthy people as they make decisions, using brain scans. It may help researchers understand the brain systems involved in decision-making in everyday life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be considered healthy based on screening and the study doctor’s judgment
- You must be able to follow all study tasks and visit schedule
- You should not have a history of alcohol or drug abuse or regular drug use
- You should not take medicines that affect the brain or brain blood flow (and no other psychoactive medicines)
- You must be able to safely have MRI scans (no MRI contraindications and no brain/head issues that block MRI)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at unconscious (not consciously noticed) brain processing during decision-making in healthy people. You might help researchers understand how the brain reaches choices—and what can affect it.
This study uses brain scans to understand how the brain processes social understanding in healthy volunteers. You might help researchers learn how the brain supports social thinking, which can guide future research for people who struggle with it.
This study tests a new way to measure how people make decisions, using both a virtual environment and real-life scenarios. It helps researchers understand decision-making in healthy individuals.
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.
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.
This study looks at how people learn and make decisions when things change around them. It uses an MRI scan to see brain activity. It may help if you are interested in understanding how your brain works.
