Studies currently recruiting participants

Testing will take place in the Kinesiology Department at Indiana University Bloomington (PH room 079). There is no direct benefit to you for participating. If you take part, you may help others in the future.

Eligibility. We can only test participants aged 18+ who:

• Have no serious medical or neurological conditions.
• Do not take certain medications that affect brain physiology (antidepressants, anti-seizure, or anti-psychotic drugs).
• Additional restrictions listed below.

​Payment. All studies offer payment to compensate you for your time. This is in the form of gift cards, which may be for Kroger, Walmart, or Target, depending on the study. Amount varies by study.

​Cortical changes associated with sensorimotor learning 

• You may be eligible to participate in 1 or 2 sessions of about 2 hours each if you are between 18—45 years of age, right-handed, and do not have any past or present history of neurological impairments.
• You will receive a gift card valued at $25 per session after completing the final session.

​

We are interested in better understanding how sensory and motor processing works in the brain.  To do this we are conducting experiments that involve non-invasive brain stimulation and behavioral tasks.  

The behavioral tasks involve sitting in front of a mirror and reaching to where you perceive various targets to be. At several points in the session, we use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure activity in sensorimotor regions of the brain. This lets us find out what neural changes are associated with the behavioral tasks. TMS is considered very safe and has been in use for decades.
