A research study is being conducted to investigate brain activity during smoking related decision-making. Participation involves two visits to The University of Alabama campus, with a follow-up visit one year later.
Brain Activity
Measure brain activity using EEG (Electroencephalogram).
Brain Imaging
Examine brain structure and function using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
Decision-Making
Assess choices and responses in smoking-related situation.
E-Cigarette
Measure electronic cigarette/smoking behavior in real-time
Study Participation
Visit 1: Complete questionnaires, Perform computerized cognitive tasks, Smoke electronic cigarettes while undergoing EEG recordings (about 3 hours)
Visit 2: Perform computerized cognitive tasks, Smoke electronic cigarettes while undergoing an MRI brain scan (about 3 hours)
1-Year Follow-Up: Complete questionnaires, Perform computerized cognitive tasks (about 2 hours)
Are You Eligible To Participate?
• Do you currently use e-cigarettes and are not trying to quit smoking?
• Are you between 21 and 35 years old?
• Are you able to speak and understand English?
• Are you eligible to participate in a standard MRI scan (for example, you should have no metal implants)?
