How the brain guides behavior through smell
This study looks at how the brain processes smells and how smell guides behavior. You will complete simple tasks while we use safe brain imaging and ultrasound techniques to see how your brain reacts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are right-handed.
- You are in good general health.
- You have a normal sense of smell (the study tests this).
- You have no history of seizures, fainting of unknown cause, or major head injury.
- You are able to undergo MRI (no metal implants, no claustrophobia).

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 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 uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS while monitoring your brain activity through electrodes you already have implanted for your treatment. Researchers want to learn how brain stimulation affects brain recordings in people being treated for neurological or psychiatric conditions.
This trial uses a special ultrasound device to safely target the brain area that controls smell. It aims to see if this method can temporarily change how healthy adults smell, which could one day help treat smell disorders.
This study tests the safety of a brain stimulation approach that uses special brain recording and “focused ultrasound” targeted by brain signals. It is designed for healthy adults and checks whether the procedure is tolerated without serious side effects.
This study looks at brain activity patterns in healthy adults. You'll have an MRI and a non-invasive brain stimulation session (TMS) to help researchers understand how the brain works. If you're already in The BrainHealth Project, this is a chance to learn more about your own brain health.
