Stanford TMS-EEG Research Study - Earn up to $430(palo alto)

Research Background: Measuring brain activity in humans is critical to better understand important cognitive processes (memory, language, vision) and gain insight to better understand brain diseases such as depression. Unfortunately the current toolbox to measure brain activity is not ideal. We have developed a new and improved way to quantify how the brain is connected using EEG brain recordings after applying single and repetitive pulses of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive and safe method that has been around for 30+ years. Unfortunately there are some signals in this methodology that we need to better understand before this tool can be helpful. That’s where we could use your help! (IRB approval #: 60980, 81385) What will you do? Participation in the study entails at least two separate visits to Stanford University: one 45-90min MRI/fMRI session at the Lucas Center and up to two 6.5-hr TMS-EEG session at the Stanford Neurosciences building. You may be invited to participate in additional TMS-EEG session(s). The MRI will be scheduled before the TMS to help us identify the stimulation target for the TMS session. In the TMS session we will apply single and/or repetitive pulses of TMS and measure your brain activity using EEG. You will be compensated hourly for your time. Compensation: All participants will receive between $215-$430 in the form of an Amazon gift card upon completion of the study. Interested in participating?
