Summary
This study looks at how stimulating certain nerves near the ear changes brain activity in healthy adults. Researchers will use an MRI scanner to watch the brain while giving mild electrical pulses to one or two nerves at the same time. The goal is to learn whether stimulating two nerves together has a stronger effect than stimulating just one. 96 healthy volunteers aged 18-65 will take part in a single visit.
