Brain training study for young adults
This study looks at how a short training program may improve your ability to switch between tasks (a skill called cognitive flexibility). It uses brain scans (MRI) to see how the brain changes, which might help understand how to keep the mind sharp.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two types of brain training techniques to see how they affect your awareness of body signals. It may help you learn to control a specific brain area through mental exercises.
This study uses real-time brain scans (fMRI) to see how people's thinking skills affect their ability to learn to control their own brain activity. It is for healthy individuals who want to help researchers understand brain training.
This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see how it affects how people process information. It may help researchers understand brain function in healthy younger and older adults.
This study compares different types of memory and thinking exercises in younger and older healthy adults. It tests whether a specific computer-based training program can improve mental abilities like attention and problem-solving.
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 is looking at how the brain works in healthy younger and older adults. You will participate in tasks and assessments that help researchers understand decision-making and brain function.
