Our study
We're looking for adults 18 years and older who currently smoke cigarettes. Testing involves up to three single session lasting up to 2 hours each session. The study involves playing a few computerized tasks while your lie in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine, a safe method for recording brain structure and activity, which require you to lie inside a narrow tube and hold still for up to about 60 minutes. You will also be asked to play computerized games following the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation and we will record your brainwaves (EEG) during these games. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires about themselves, and their drug use history.
Participants are financially reimbursed for their time ($25/hour)
