First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study aims to develop better brain imaging methods to understand how addiction affects the brain. Healthy adults aged 18 and older will undergo MRI scans, EEG, and other tests while performing simple tasks. The goal is to improve the reliability of these imaging techniques for future addiction research.
