Consciousness and Heart Health Study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This research study examines how your brain activity and heart health relate to each other using virtual reality and sensors. The goal is to better understand consciousness—your awareness and alertness—and how it connects to cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) wellness.
