The effects of nicotine on visual attention

01 January 1970

We are looking for healthy non-smokers who are between 18 and 40 years old for a research study investigating the effects of nicotine on visual attention.
The study involves two testing sessions on separate days within the same week. Each session will take approximately 2.5 hours and will involve performing a simple computer-based task while EEG is being recorded. Nicotine will be delivered in one of these sessions using a transdermal patch.
