Bupropion for the Prevention of Postpartum Smoking Relapse

Currently, more than half of all women who are able to quit smoking cigarettes during pregnancy start smoking again within six months after they give birth. We want to find out if the drug bupropion (a commercially-available medicine) can help women who quit smoking during pregnancy to continue not smoking after they give birth. All study visits can be completed either in-person or virtually.

Investigating the Effects of VNS on Central Autonomic Network and Interoception

This study is being done to find out if vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects how different parts of the brain interact with each other and process information. Participants must be in the REVEAL study and have a new VNS device implanted for treatment of depression. The study will last for about 19 weeks after the VNS is implanted.

Validation of Flexible, Wearable Sensors to Detect and Monitor Tics

The goal of this study is to design wearable, comfortable sensors to measure muscle movement during tics. Small, flexible EMG sensors (the size of the head of a pin) will be embedded in a “band-aid like” plastic sticker which is placed on the side of the face. Participants will be video recorded as they complete movement tasks. The entire visit will take approximately 2 hours.

Technology Assisted Treatment for Binge Eating Disorder

This research is being done to study binge eating and potential treatment strategies. An app on a sensor logging device will log eating behavior data. The device will incorporate data and refine the performance of the HabitAware sensor logging model to recognize binge eating episodes. We hope this research will help inform novel treatments for targeting binge eating behavior.

Research Evaluating Vagal Excitation and Anatomical Links

We are studying the effects of stimulating the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve connects the brain to many organs in the body. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is already approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat depression and epilepsy. We want to learn more about how it affects other parts of our bodies, such as the heart, metabolism, the immune system, and the nervous system. We hope that by understanding how VNS affects the body as a whole, we can develop new treatments for other conditions, or help to improve its use for depression and epilepsy.

TMS x DPX

We will examine whether the benefits of brain stimulation on mental functioning can be enhanced if an individual is actively engaging the target brain networks while receiving brain stimulation. The study includes two separate sessions and people will complete either a cognitive task or a perceptual task while we are measuring the change in brain function with EEG. Please fill out the linked screening questionnaire to determine if you are eligible.

A Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of COMP360 in participants with treatment-resistant depression

COMP360 is a human-made form of the naturally occurring chemical compound, psilocybin which may help in treating depression. In this research study we are comparing COMP360 to placebo, when administered with psychological support from a trained study therapist. Placebo is a substance that has no active medical ingredients and is commonly used in research studies to see if the investigational drug works better or is as safe as not taking anything at all.

A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Blinded Trial Demonstrating the Safety and Effectiveness of VNS Therapy® System as Adjunctive Therapy Versus a No Stimulation Control in Subjects With Treatment-Resistant Depression (RECOVER)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether active Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy is better than no stimulation VNS Therapy in improving health outcomes for subjects with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). All participants in this study will receive a VNS Therapy surgical implant, which works to reduce the symptoms of depression by sending mild electrical pulses to the vagus nerve in the neck. The vagus nerve is connected to areas of the brain associated with controlling the mood. Data will be collected on responses to study treatments, quality of life, productivity, and use of healthcare services.

FAST, RELIABLE, ELECTRICAL UNCONSCIOUS DETECTION

We are interested in learning more about how preconscious thinking works. Preconscious thinking are thoughts you aren't actively thinking about but can be thought of quickly with the right trigger. It is similar to a waiting room for your thoughts. We believe that preconscious thoughts are important for learning more about symptoms related to suicide and psychosis. This research will help us better understand how the preconscious relates to these mental health outcomes. Participants will be asked to complete a research visit where they will complete computer tasks while being monitored with EEG and video recording. We'll also ask participants to complete pre-visit mood check-ins which can be done remotely.

State Representation in Early Psychosis (STEP)

In the first phase of the study, participants will be asked to complete two sets of appointments six months apart. During both sets of appointments, participants will be asked to complete interviews and questionnaires about their life experiences and mental health, and they will have an EEG and fMRI while completing computerized tasks. The second phase of the study is optional. In this phase, participants will test one of two forms of computerized cognitive training, or brain games. They will be asked to complete 10 hours of training over a 3-6 week period. After the training period is over, they will have two sets of follow up visits, one right after the training period and one five months later. At these appointments, participants will complete the same activities done in the first phase of this study, including the interviews, questionnaires, and imaging (fMRI and EEG) combined with computerized tasks. We are recruiting two groups of participants for this study. One group will include individuals who experience hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, or a psychosis disorder (i.e., schizophrenia), and the other group will be individuals who do not have a diagnosis or family history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or autism spectrum disorder.

Neurofeedback and Neural Plasticity of Self-Processing and Affect Regulation Circuits in Suicide Attempting Adolescents

The purpose of this study is to examine a new, experimental treatment for adolescents at risk for suicide attempts called neurofeedback training. In neurofeedback training, you are trying to control your brain function on purpose. In this study, your child will see their brain activity (displayed like a thermometer). He/she will recall positive memories to try to change the levels of their brain activity shown on the visual thermometer inside a scanner.
