What this trial studies

This study aims to validate a hybrid decision-making tool that combines ecological and virtual tasks to assess risky choices. Participants will undergo neurophysiological measurements using EEG while completing the tasks. The study will compare behavioral differences between the hybrid task and a purely virtual task to understand decision-making mechanisms better. Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 65 will be recruited for this purpose.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy men and women aged 18 to 65 with no neurological or psychiatric disorders.

Not a fit: Patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders, or those with addictive disorders other than tobacco, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance our understanding of decision-making processes and lead to improved tools for assessing behavior in various contexts.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach is innovative, similar studies have not been widely reported, making this a relatively novel investigation.
