What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study investigates how the brain uses visual attention to help maintain balance. Healthy adults aged 18 to 35 will perform a visual attention task while their brain activity is recorded with EEG and their balance is measured. The goal is to understand the neural connections between what we see and how we stay upright.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could reveal how the brain integrates visual cues to maintain balance, potentially guiding future therapies for balance disorders.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study in healthy young adults, so findings may not apply to older people or those with balance problems.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
