We are currently recruiting for a new clinical trial investigating the feasibility of five days of personalized non-invasive brain stimulation for antenatal depression. In the first Phase of this study, we are investigating this intervention in healthy control participants. You will be compensated up to $600 for participation in the study, which includes a virtual screening, a baseline visit to measure high-density electroencephalography (HD-EEG), 5 consecutive in-person visits with stimulation over one week, and a virtual follow up 2 weeks after the study. If you are interested in participating in this study, you can fill out our pre-screening form to help us determine if you may be eligible.

Preventing walking disability in our rapidly aging population is an enormous public health challenge. Fundamental to their loss of functional mobility is that the muscles needed to power walking experience decline in function with age. Wearable assistive devices can be designed to augment the function of these muscles and may make walking easier. If you are a healthy older adult, you may be able to participate in a training intervention to determine the feasibility of a passive wearable ankle device that strengthens walking dynamics and decreases fall risk.
