Researchers are enrolling healthy volunteers for an outpatient research study to learn more about how the brain works.

Research participation may include cognitive tasks, personality tests, brain imaging and/or magnetoencephalography (MEG).  Participants may choose which research tasks they would like to participate in, which determines the number of visits (1-12) to the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD.

The study is enrolling eligible participants, between the ages of 18 and 65, who are in good physical health, and at least a high school education. There is no cost to participate and compensation is provided.
