Brain Stimulation & Brain Imaging Study

Healthy volunteers are needed for a study conducted by Dr. Mark Eldaief of the Massachusetts General Hospital investigating how behavior and brain networks change following a non-invasive form of brain stimulation called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The effects of brain stimulation will be measured with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

In order to take part, you must:

Be between the ages of 18 and 50
Have no history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or depression
Have no history of seizures or a first-degree relative with seizures
Have no history of neurological or serious medical conditions and have never taken medications for these
Not be taking illegal drugs
Not have any implanted metallic or electronic devices (e.g., a pacemaker or neurostimulator)
Not be pregnant

What you will be asked to do:

The research study will take place at the Center for Brain Sciences inside the Northwest Building at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. Your participation will last approximately 2-3 months and will consist of 6 study visits, each lasting 4-5 hours. During visits, you will receive TMS and MRI imaging, and also fill out questionnaires about your mood.

Compensation:
You will receive a payment of $200 for each visit that you complete, and you will be paid an additional sum for completing the entire study. Total payment is up to $2000.
