Phase N/A

This study is about understanding how our brain makes decisions. Scientists want to know how different parts of the brain affect choices, especially for people with depression. They will use special techniques called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Temporal Interference (TI) to gently stimulate the brain while participants do fun game-like tasks in a lab. TMS and TI are methods used to influence brain activity to learn more about how we think and decide. It’s like giving the brain a little nudge to see how it reacts. This study involves both people with depression and those without, to compare results.

  • Participation involves performing tasks in a lab with brain stimulation.
  • Not suitable for those with certain medical conditions or pregnant women.
  • Participants need to be fluent in English and free of certain medications and substances.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
