Participants needed for study on brain responses to performing, imagining, and perceiving movements

 

We are recruiting participants for a study on brain responses to performing, imagining, and perceiving movements. 

The study involves completing a task in which you physically practice, imagine, or observe simple movements. A type of non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation; TMS) will be used to test how the brain responds to practicing, imagining, and observing movements. TMS involves a brief pulse of stimulation to an area of the brain via a magnetic coil held over the scalp. 

Safety screening will be conducted to assess suitability for non-invasive brain stimulation.

We are looking for right-handed participants aged 18-40 years with normal or corrected vision, and without a history of motor, neurological, or psychiatric conditions and no metal inside the head. 

The study requires an in-person session of approx. 2 hours in the Warren Stevens Building (Athletic Centre).

You will be compensated $15.00/hour for your time
