First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at how stimulating certain nerves in the ear changes brain activity in healthy adults aged 18 to 65. Participants will have a one-time MRI session while mild electrical pulses are applied to different nerve targets. The goal is to see if stimulating two nerves at once produces a stronger brain response than stimulating just one. This is a research study only and does not treat any condition.
