Brain stimulation study for healthy decision making
This study uses gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (like a magnetic pulse) to understand how healthy people make decisions. If you join, you will perform simple tasks while your brain activity is briefly affected, which may reveal how your choices work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be right-handed.
- You must not have any diagnosed neurological or psychiatric condition, such as epilepsy, depression, or schizophrenia.
- You must not have any implanted medical devices (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant).
- You must not have any metal pieces in or around your head.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not regularly use narcotics or have used cannabis in the past month, and you must not have alcohol abuse or dependence.

This study looks at how brain stimulation treatment affects the way you make decisions and learn from rewards. It aims to understand how these treatments work, which could help improve care for people with mental health conditions.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can change brain activity in two specific areas of the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. The results may help in developing treatments for conditions that affect movement.
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 a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation. Researchers want to understand how to make it work better and safer in humans.
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 study tests a new way to use mild electrical stimulation on the brain, which might help improve how the brain works. It is for healthy young adults who are right-handed and not taking certain medications.
