Examining responses to rewards in the laboratory and during daily life in individuals who smoke cigarettes
The goal of this study is to learn more about how people who smoke
cigarettes respond to rewards, such as winning money, under different
conditions. The study uses a method called functional magnetic
resonance imaging, or fMRI, which is a research method for measuring
activity in the brain. In this study, we are using fMRI to measure how
brain activity changes in people who smoke when they receive rewards.
The fMRI measures are collected during two separate visits.
Participants are also asked to fill out questionnaires and complete
computer tasks while in the lab. In total, participants are required
to visit the research lab on the University Park campus a total of
five times. In addition, the study involves measuring thoughts and
behaviors in people who smoke in real life by asking them to fill out
surveys on a smartphone. Participants are asked to carry a smartphone
for a total of 10 days and answer several surveys throughout each day.
In order to be eligible for the study, individuals must be between 18
and 55 years old and you must smoke on a daily basis.
