fMRI Virtual Reality Study
05 September 2025
Join us in this fMRI study investigating how people learn about the relation between situations and mildly uncomfortable electrical stimulations in their environment.
• Inside the scanner you will engage with VR scenarios designed to enlighten our understanding of human learning and decision-making.
• Whilst lying in the scanner for 1 hr, you will perform a simple task on the screen, and will be exposed to mild electric stimulation on the foot at certain time points in the study.
Requirements
- - You must be aged between 18 and 30 years old
- - Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision and hearing.
- - You must be healthy with no history of neurological or mental health conditions.
- - Must not be pregnant
- - Must not have tattoos above the crease of the elbows (this includes semi-permanent tattooing procedures such as micro-blading)
- - Must not have any metallic objects that cannot be removed for the scan.
