TMS/EEG-study "DopaStim"
We are looking for participants for our TMS/EEG experiment “DopaStim” between the age of 18 and 65. The study investigates the effect of dopamine on neuroplasticity in the brain.
In this dopamine study, we combine methods of non-invasive brain stimulation with the measurement of brain waves using an electroencephalogram (EEG) to investigate the effect of dopamine on neuroplasticity in the brain. The study consists of 4 experimental sessions of approximately 5 hours (including compensated breaks) at weekly intervals. Beforehand, there will be a short meeting during which the methods applied will be demonstrated, questions answered, and a medical check performed. In addition, individual images of the brain might be taken in the MRI scanner (duration: approx. 10 minutes in the scanner). No tasks need to be completed during the experiment.
The experiment will be remunerated with 12€ per hour or equivalent participant hours.
- Age: 18-65 years
- Handedness: right
