This study looks at how people learn and make decisions when things change around them. It uses an MRI scan to see brain activity. It may help if you are interested in understanding how your brain works.
This study tests whether a combination of chest and diaphragm breathing exercises can improve focus, mood, and how your body responds to stress. Researchers will measure your brain activity and physical responses to see if this type of breathing helps.
This study looks at how moderate exercise and a special breathing technique called cyclic sighing affect stress, thinking, and body signals in healthy young adults. It may help you learn simple ways to manage stress and improve focus.
This study looks at how a specific brain area and its connections (in the orbitofrontal cortex) affect how people make choices. You may be asked to do decision-related tasks while your brain is measured to better understand this system.
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 trial tests a stress management program for college students. You will learn stress-reducing skills and use a heart rate monitor to see how your body responds.
