Stories That Heal: Support For Moms Facing Tough Times
M
Michelle Miller
Many individuals who experience extremely stressful or traumatic events may feel irritable or on edge, have unpleasant memories of the event that they try to avoid, and feel more distant from others. Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a treatment that can help, particularly pregnant and postpartum women who have gone through very stressful or traumatic experiences. In NET, women talk through their life stories with a therapist to process stress and emotional pain. We are especially focusing on supporting Black women and women living in rural areas who may have faced difficult challenges. The goal of our study is to help participants learn (and practice) new ways to cope with these difficulties during an important time in their life. All study tasks can be completed virtually (online and via webcam). There is no transportation required required to participate. Virtual sessions will be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you. You will be compensated for your time.

Exploring How Brain Stimulation Affects Attention and Decision-Making
J
Joshua Brown
This study is testing a new, non-invasive method of brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI). TI uses very small electrical currents non-invasively applied through the scalp to see whether deeper brain areas can be safely and effectively influenced. We are studying how TI affects brain activity, measured with MRI, and how it may change attention, decision-making, and responses to simple tasks. You may qualify for this study if you:Are between the ages of 18 and 50Weigh less than 440 poundsHave at least a 6th grade educationSpeak and read EnglishCan pass an MRI safety screening test
