LPS Study
This study aims to understand how activation of the immune system leads to depression in some individuals. The study involves exposure to a mild inflammatory stimulus, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and clinical interviews.
- Study Time: 4 visits/12 hours
- Study Payment: ~$500
- Study Involves: Immune stimulus, MRI, clinical and behavioral assessments
Fear Conditioning Study
This study is investigating the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on how people learn and unlearn fear cues. Participants will perform behavioral tasks and receive 20-minutes of non-invasive brain stimulation over a brain area called the cerebellum. The cerebellum is located at the base of the skull. Phase 1 of the study will not involve functional MRI. Phase 2 of the study will involve functional MRI. The study is recruiting individuals with anxiety disorders aged 18-70 years old.
- Study Time: Phase 1: 2 visits /4 hours without fMRI; Phase 2: 1 visit/3 hours with fMRI
- Study Payment: Phase 1: $95 without fMRI; Phase 2: $110 with fMRI
- Study Involves: tDCS, clinical & behavioral assessments, fMRI (Phase 2)
Neural Basis of Interoceptive Dysfunction and Anxiety in Anorexia Nervosa

- Study Time: 9 hours over one year
- Study Payment: $350
- Study Involves: Questionnaires, MRI, pharmacological infusion, clinical and behavioral assessments
