Volunteers needed for EPFL research study

This study would require:

• A pre-selection visit to the CIBM located at the EPFL campus to verify that you are suitable for the study (duration: 30 minutes)
• Two visits to CIBM at EPFL campus on the same day (8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.), whereby each visit would include:
  1. MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) measurement of brain energy metabolites (40 minutes)
  2. A saliva cortisol test
  3. A test that assesses impulsivity, administered in the form of a video game (10 minutes)

No blood samples will be taken.

All data will be processed according to a procedure that fully respects confidentiality.

A financial contribution will be given to you.

Conditions of participation:

• You are a male between 18 and 40 years old in good health.
• You are not claustrophobic.
• You do not have any metal implants.
