Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Be older than 18 years old

Must not have

For fMRI studies: For some sub-studies, individuals older than age 35 will be excluded because of potential differences in cognitive and brain function across age groups that are beyond the scope of the proposed studies. Individuals will be informed that use of psychoactive drugs, mental health disorders, and chronic or temporary sleep deficits (an average of less than 6 hours of sleep over the past month or less than 4 hours of sleep the night prior to the experimental session) are reasons for exclusion because of the potential influence on cognitive functioning

For behavioral studies: Potential participants will be informed that use of psychoactive drugs, mental health disorders, and chronic or temporary sleep deficits (an average of less than 6 hours of sleep over the past month or less than 4 hours of sleep the night prior to the experimental session) are reasons for exclusion because of the potential influence on cognitive functioning

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up data will be collected over a 5 year period. results from sub-studies will be analyzed within 6 months of the conclusion of data collection.

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is recruiting healthy individuals from the University of Oregon and surrounding community to participate in behavioral, fMRI and eye tracking experiments that investigate human memory.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy, right-handed native English speakers from the University of Oregon area. For behavioral studies, participants must be aged 18-35. For fMRI studies, they can be between 18-80 years old. People with mental health disorders, drug use or sleep deficits are excluded.

What is being tested?

The study investigates memory formation by having participants remember images while their brain activity and eye movements are tracked using fMRI and eye tracking technology. The similarity of images and learning methods will vary to see how it affects memory.

What are the potential side effects?

There may not be direct side effects from participating in this study since it involves non-invasive procedures like remembering images, fMRI scanning, and eye tracking which typically do not cause harm.
