Brain activity during information seeking in healthy adults
This study looks at how your brain responds when you look for information. You will have an MRI scan while doing simple tasks, which may help researchers understand how the brain works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have good vision, at least 20/40 (with or without glasses or contacts).
- You must be in generally good medical health.
- No history of head injury or any illness that affects the brain or nervous system.
- No metal implants or devices that are unsafe for MRI (like pacemakers, cochlear implants, or metal fragments).
- You must weigh less than 250 pounds.
- You must not be claustrophobic (fear of tight spaces).

This study tests whether a special MRI technique can help people learn to control brain areas linked to motivation. It may lead to better treatments for motivational problems.
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 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 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 stimulation and brain imaging (MRI) along with vision tests to understand how the brain supports seeing. You might be eligible if you are a healthy adult and can safely complete MRI and stimulation tasks.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure natural brain chemicals. It helps researchers understand how the brain works in healthy people, which may inform future treatments.
