Participants wanted for an experiment to evaluate the efficacy of widely used non-invasive brain stmulation modality

Hvidovre Hospital is looking for participants for a new project, which seeks to evaluate the efficacy of widely used non-invasive brain stimulation modality, transcranial alternating current stimulation, using a more systematic approach in larger scalp area. The study is harmless and safe.
You can participate if you:

  • are from 18 to 39 years old
  • have normal or corrected-to-normal vision
  • have the ability to give written or oral informed consent.

You cannot participate if you:

    • Have self-reported pregnancy or are breastfeeding. Any subject with the potential to become pregnant must ensure against this (e.g. by taking oral contraceptives, or other high efficacy method).
    • Have self-reported medical conditions that may interfere with the study (e.g., epilepsy, heart disease).
    • Have previously been diagnosed a neurological or psychiatric condition.
    • Use medication which may have cognitive effects (e.g., stimulants, antidepressants, neuroleptics).
    • Have severe scalp skin lesions (i.e., razor nicks, wounds that have not healed, recent scare tissue, broken skin, etc.).
    • Have had previous craniotomy or other acute neurosurgical interventions.
    • Have claustrophobia, pacemakers, implanted electronic devices, metal in the body (e.g., pacemaker, deep brain stimulator, cochlear implant), or other contraindications for MR scans.
    • Have an alcohol intake exceeding 28 units per week, smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day.
    • Use illicit substances in the week prior to the experimental session.
    • If you don’t wish to be informed about incidental health findings from the MRI.
