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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study uses a new type of brain stimulation (temporal interference) to see if it can safely change brain activity. It is for healthy adults who want to help researchers learn more about how the brain works.
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation during sleep to see how it affects brain activity. If you are a healthy adult without certain medical conditions, you may help researchers understand how this stimulation works.
