Details and patient eligibility

About

This study has two parts. The study team will evaluate transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) and two sham settings during a passive task while measuring pupillary response. Second, the study team will assign either taVNS, sham, or no intervention during a go/no-go task and evaluate perceptual learning over three sessions which will also include measuring the pupillary response and electroencephalogram (EEG).
