Study how your brain makes decisions without awareness
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be generally healthy based on screening and the study doctor’s judgment
- Be able to follow all study tasks and instructions during the study
- No history of alcohol or drug misuse, addiction, or regular drug use
- No use of medicines that affect the brain or mood (psychoactive medicines)
- Avoid any other medications known to affect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)

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.
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 scans to see how the front part of the brain controls attention and thinking. If you are right-handed and healthy, you may help researchers learn more about how the brain works.
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 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.
