Brain activity study of mental planning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain imaging to see how people mentally simulate and plan multi-step actions. It may help researchers understand planning in healthy adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a healthy adult without any history of brain or mental health conditions.
- You are not part of a vulnerable group (e.g., pregnant, incarcerated, or decisionally impaired).

This study looks at how the brain handles motivation, learning, and decision-making when situations change. You'll have MRI scans and do tasks to help researchers understand these processes in healthy adults.
This study uses brain scans and real-life surveys to understand how people with or without schizophrenia make decisions. It may help researchers learn how the brain works differently in schizophrenia.
This study looks at how the brain makes decisions and forms memories. It uses brain recordings from patients already having surgery for epilepsy to understand these processes.
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 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 well people can plan and control movements, and whether thinking ability affects that process. It compares healthy younger adults, healthy older adults, and older adults with mild cognitive problems.
