Study Background
Researchers at Butler Hospital are looking for young healthy adults to participate in a clinical research study to better understand impulsivity.
The study involves a phone screen to determine preliminary eligibility and a baseline clinical assessment. In addition, all participants will be scheduled for a baseline MRI scan within one week of the baseline assessment. Some participants may be asked to additionally receive noninvasive brain stimulation (i.e. mild electrical stimulation on the scalp). Participants will be involved in the study for 2-8 weeks.
Your participation in this research study may help researchers develop individualized treatments. Further research today and join our compensated study!
