Do you have depression and are currently experiencing depression symptoms? We are conducting a treatment trial to see whether non-invasive brain stimulation that matches your brain waves can improve depression symptoms. This is a randomized controlled trial where participants will be randomly assigned to receive active or placebo (fake) stimulation. Compensation is provided.
The aim of this study is to measure the efficacy (how well it works) and safety of efgartigimod compared with placebo (inactive substance) in participants with ocular myasthenia gravis (oMG). The study will also measure the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efgartigimod.
Are you right-handed? Are you between the ages 18 and 35 or 65 and 85? Are you interested in testing your memory? If so, you may be able to take part in a study on how younger and older adults learn and remember objects. You can help us learn more about how memory works in adults! Compensation provided.
Have you given birth before? Are you an adult? If so, you may be able to participate in a study to see if postpartum depression and/or postpartum psychosis have a genetic cause. We want to ultimately find a cure. Help us stop postpartum depression. Compensation provided.
Are you interested in learning more about how the body and brain influences social behavior? If you are between 18 and 29 years old, you may be eligible to participate in our new EEG study! This project uses EEG and blood assaying techniques to understand how differences in immune functioning relates to the way that reward is processed in the brain. Compensation is provided.
Do you have moderate Parkinson's disease with motor symptoms? Are you over 45 years old? You may be able to participate in a research study to find out if a new treatment involving surgery can help with your symptoms. Compensation provided.
Do you have problems with your thinking or memory? Or a parent or sibling with dementia? If so, we'd like you to join this registry about the brain and Alzheimer's disease. In return for providing us with a little bit of your health history and background, we will connect you with researchers doing studies you can join, without obligation. Many studies pay a stipend and some offer a possible treatment.
If you have NMOSD, you are between the ages of 18 and 60, and you use a smart phone, you may be able to participate in a clinical trial testing a new self-assessment tool app. Compensation provided.
Are you an adult between the ages of 18 and 35? Are you interested in brain research? If so, you may be able to participate in a study to see how people see social interactions in different situations. Compensation provided.
Do you ever notice that you feel more energized or alert when meeting new people and forming first impressions? Other times, a first meeting will rub you the wrong way and you may feel less attentive. If you've experienced one or both of these, you may wonder: What makes a good first impression? How do you know you want to become friends with someone? What information do we pay attention to when interacting with someone for the first time? Good questions! Neuroscience and psychology researchers wonder about the same things. Here at the Social Neuroscience and Health lab, we study how the brain and the immune system work together to influence our behaviors and experiences. The Friendship Pathways Study is a research project aiming to answer questions about how the brain and immune system communicate when meeting new people and forming friendships.
