Exploring Markers of Brain Health With EEG and TMS
A PILOT STUDY
This study seeks to explore markers of brain health through and investigational device that utilizes electroencephalogram (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), two non-invasive procedures that track brain stimulation. See eligibility and participation details below.
Who is a Good Fit?
You may be eligible if you are currently:
- In the brain imaging cohort of The BrainHealth Project.
- 22 years or older.
- Other criteria may apply.
What Will You Do?
Participation involves:
- Two (2) in-person sessions (~2 hours each) at the Center for Brainhealth (within 2 weeks of your next 2 imaging session).
- During these sessions, wearing a headcap (with gel) that sends magnetic pulses to stimulate certain areas of the brain and records your brain waves.
Why Participate?
Your data will help us better understand brain markers of health and performance.
What Are the Risks?
Possible side effects include temporary headaches, temporary dizziness (lasting a few minutes), temporary neck stiffness, and temporary change in mood.
If you have metal in your body (including implanted devices), that is a risk factor that would exclude you. Just like you complete a safety screener for the MRI scan, you will complete a screener for this device to make sure the presence of metal is not a risk factor.
The intensity and frequency of the device are well-within FDA-recommended parameters, making the risk of seizure very rare (<0.01%).
