Principal Investigator:
Kiyohito Iigaya, PhDOur lab is conducting a magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study to investigate people's memory and decision-making. We are looking for people between the ages of 18 and 60 to be healthy study participants. In this study you will be asked to complete a set of self-report questionnaires probing demographics and personality traits, followed by a number of computer-based tasks inside the MRI scanner. Study participants earn between $25/hour for their time, with potential bonus payments based on performance. The study is typically expected to take 1-4 hours in total. All the experiments are... -

Principal Investigator:
Brian A Fallon, MDAre you suffering from persistent cognitive symptoms that began after you were diagnosed and treated with antibiotics for Lyme Disease? This new research study aims to test a new form of treatment for people with persistent cognitive symptoms such as brain fog despite antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease. This treatment involves placing two electrode patches to the forehead of a participant followed by low dose stimulation. This is called Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Published studies report that tDCS has been shown to increase processing speed, reduce fatigue, and improve...
