Online or brain-scan study of memory improvement and mix-ups
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how people learn and how memories can sometimes interfere with each other. Your answers and (if chosen) a brain scan may help researchers understand what supports better memory.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can follow the study instructions and complete the tasks
- You are fluent in English
- If joining online, you have an account on the study crowdsourcing site (like Prolific)
- You do not have a past or current psychiatric or neurological condition, and you are not using “mood/brain” medicines (psychotropic drugs)
- If doing an MRI scan: you are not pregnant, can safely have metal removed, can lie still, and you don’t have MRI safety issues; you are not left-handed

This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to understand how our brains process and recall memories. It may help researchers learn more about memory in healthy adults.
This study explores how a part of your brain, called the posterior cingulate cortex, helps control memory. It uses the brain monitoring you already have for epilepsy to better understand how we remember and use information.
This study tests how people learn and remember new speech patterns. You will participate in speech tasks while an MRI scans your brain activity.
This study tests how the brain helps you form new memories when there is competing information (interference). It may help researchers understand memory processes and why learning can feel harder in distracting situations.
This study looks at how your brain pays attention to real-life memories. You'll do tasks while in an MRI scanner, and use an app on your phone for a few days beforehand.
This study looks at how your brain changes and stores memories over time. You'll do a daily computer task for 30 minutes and may have an MRI scan. The goal is to learn more about memory in healthy aging.
