The Stanford radiological sciences laboratory is looking for people to participate in a brain stimulation research study. This study aims at developing the methodology for combining a brain stimulation method, transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) with a method for mapping brain activity, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). tES delivers a weak current (< 2mA) to the brain through electrodes placed upon the scalp. fMRI noninvasively images brain functions by applying a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency magnetic fields, and can be utilized to localize and detect brain functional changes induced by tES.
Depending on the setting of the experiments, you will be asked to complete a few tasks (e.g., cognitive engagement, sensory stimulus, or quietly resting) while lying inside the scanner. TES will be delivered either before, during and/or after MR scans.
The study will be conducted at The Richard M. Lucas Center for Imaging, Stanford University.

*Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only Stanford affiliates who are authorized by their departments and/or schools to be on the Stanford Main Campus, where the Richard M. Lucas Center for Imaging is located, for allowable business and are registered in ORMS can participate in this study. For more information, please refer to Stanford Operating Procedures (http://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/lucasmri/documents/Lucas-Service-Center-Phase-2-Human-subs-SOP-v3.pdf).

This study (including preparation) will take up to 2 hours. You will receive $15 per hour for participating in this study. If you would like to participate, please e-mail stanfordtdcsresearch@gmail.com for further information.

Thanks!
