What?s involved?

We would like to investigate how naturally occurring chemicals in the body called

?neuropeptides? effect mental processes. In the study you will receive a single

neuropeptide or a dummy drug (placebo), in the form of a nasal spray. After this

we will we scan your brain using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) while you

receive brief sensory stimulation. Several of these stimuli will be moderately

painful. MRI is completely non-invasive & safe in most people and we will screen

everybody for their suitability. Similarly the neuropeptide has been extensively

used in research studies. We will adjust the intensity of the stimulation to a level

you are happy with.

We will also ask you to provide two blood samples (one teaspoon or 5ml each) and

urine samples for pregnancy & drug tests, which we have to do for safety reasons.

We will also ask you to complete a couple of questionnaires and perform a short

computerized task.


Compensation

You will receive a total of ?100 for participating in this study.


Procedure

Email us to get more information.

You will visit us three times in total.

? A single screening visit (2-2,5h) to familiarize you with the study.

? 2 x MRI sessions (ca. 2,5h each)


Where?s the study taking place?

At the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences, King?s College London, near Denmark Hill

station.


Am I eligible? Yes, if you

? Are female, right-handed, 18-32 years old, healthy, with good vision (w or w/o glasses)

? Have European ancestry (both parents)

    • Hi, Looking for a small olive tree as an alternative to the traditional Christmas tree if anyone has any leads. Seeing as european pines have been used to colonise Palestine for the last 75 years, the birthplace of Jesus I thought it would be better to rethink this tradition. Thanks, Neil
    • That is chilling.  I hope that someone has reported the ones who filmed themselves having sex with girls/women and then passed the film to other people.  They should all be arrested. I remember hearing about a BBC radio reporter called Benjamin Wilkins was arrested in 2008 and jailed in 2010 for filming himself having sex with quite a number of women via a hidden camera in his bedroom.  He also had a camera in the bathroom.  The footage was discovered by a a girlfriend who contacted a woman in the film and she went to the police.  He pleaded guilty to11 counts of voyeurism and sentenced to 8 months in prison.    He did not pass the films to anyone else.  Info about Wilkins is still out there.  Several newspapers including the Telegraph and the Daily Record wrote about it.
    • Does the Southwark noise team not still exist? If it does, surely it must cover noise from fireworks?
