Summary

This trial looks at the effects of different brain stimulation settings on muscle contractions in order to better understand how they could be used to help with addiction, pain, and mental health issues.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who speak English and are interested in participating in a study examining brain stimulation's effects on muscle contractions. They must not have had a significant head injury, substance dependence, claustrophobia, active medical disorders affecting the brain, neurological disorders, certain implants or be pregnant.
What is being tested?
The study tests how different settings of Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) affect muscle contractions. It involves structural imaging with fMRI and CT to align LIFU and TMS devices for temporary changes in brain activity. Muscle responses are recorded using EMG.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the ultrasound device, headache or dizziness during or after stimulation sessions, skin irritation at the site of electrode placement for EMG recording.
