Study Summary

This trial is designed to study the brain mechanisms of fear and anxiety in humans by measuring brain activity, heart rate, and skin perspiration while participants complete tasks on a computer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who can read and write English fluently, are willing to consent to participate, and have had specific neurostimulation electrode placement. It's not suitable for non-native English speakers or those unwilling to consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand brain mechanisms behind fear and anxiety by measuring brain activity, heart rate, and skin perspiration during computer tasks. Some tasks involve virtual reality with exposure to fear-inducing images.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an observational study focusing on measurements during tasks without medical interventions, there are no direct side effects from drugs or treatments being tested.
