The aim of this study is to objectively assess 3D and functional outcomes of upper blepharoplasty on periorbital volume, dry eyes, peripheral vision, electrical activity of the frontal muscles and wellbeing in two different surgical techniques.
Primary Objective: to ascertain whether administered clonidine and scopolamine affect performance (as measured by modulation of reaction times, learning and/or error rates) in a range of cognitive tasks designed to examine uncertainty estimation and…
To determine whether (supplemental) human donor milk has beneficial effects (in terms of reduction of infectious episodes and mortality) when compared to (supplemental) preterm formula during the first 10 days of life in VLBW infants. Amendement ESS…
To study the feasibility of applying tDCS to APD subjects to a) influence prefrontal asymmetries and b) assess whether the restoration of prefrontal electrophysiological balances is reflected in improved social-behavioral performance.
Fundamental research with the objective to gain more insight in empathic processes within people suffering from psychopathy. Goal is to evaluate if affective empathic can be temporarily altered (in terms of minutes).
The primary objective of the study is to examine the changes in core body temperature during a 60 minute cycling exercise bout at 85% of maximum predicted heart rate using double blind placebo or paracetamol in a group of healthy young subjects.
The main objective is to investigate the role of MRs in memory acquisition and recall during stress and non-stress conditions. Specifically, we are interested in two domains of memory, spatial and fear memory. Secondary objectives are to determine…
Study 1:- Determine whether loss aversion behaviour (i.e. increased sensitivity to losses compared to gains) is modulated by dopamine levels using a pharmacological challenge- Assess whether this effect is accompanied by the modulation of brain…
The present proposal is designed to examine the effect of carbohydrate and protein co-ingestion on muscle protein synthesis during endurance type exercise activities.
Primary Objective: to ascertain whether tVNS affect performance (as measured by modulation of reaction times and/or error rates) in two cognitive tasks designed to examine PES and PIA, as well as specific components of pupillary response that will…
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of stimulation of noradrenaline and acetylcholine and the blockade of NMDA-receptors on neural and behavioral measures of perception and consciousness.
The present study aims to examine whether memory improvement, caused by Ritalin (MPH) intake, has a positive effect on exam performance.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of 12-week long daily administration of a sweet orange and pomegranate extract on exercise capacity in healthy adults (40 - 65 y).
As an extension on a study that is currently running and has previously been approved by the METC (NL69407.091.19) the aim of this study is to identify the importance of scene context in the perception of objects by manipulating activity in object…
The main objective is to test whether an improved cognitive performance, achieved by administering modafinil, is associated with improved economic decision making, in particular regarding preferences over time, risk and losses, as well as social…
We aim to determine the effects of collagen supplementation on biomarkers of collagen metabolism in the two weeks following total hip arthroplasty in older adults with osteoarthritis.
To carry out a large-scale replication study of a previous study that reported that a single dose of intranasal oxytocin (i.e. oxytocin vapour inhaled through the nose) increased trust between humans.
The primary objective of this study is to unravel the effects of dopamine D2 receptor stimulation on gating of working memory, reinforcement learning, and reward-based motivation, and their associated physiological changes (measured with fMRI and…
The main objective of the current study is to assess the impact of dietary collagen supplementation on human tendon protein synthesis.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of a citrus extract rich in the flavonoids hesperidin and naringin on sleep quality and mental wellbeing in healthy subjects with sleep (minor) disturbance.
