Study Summary

This is a single-visit non-invasive study of healthy volunteer subjects. Brain activity will be measured with infra-red light sensors attached to a cap worn on the head, while both ears are gently stimulated with plastic filaments.

Primary Outcome

Calculated T-statistic for contrast of analyzed fNIRS signal change, comparing responses from stimulation of the ipsilateral ear at the auricular points corresponding to the lumbar-spine vs. thumb. A T-statistic of 0 indicates no difference; more positive scores mean stronger fNIRS signal change with stimulation of the lumbar point, compared to stimulation of the thumb point; more negative scores mean change with stimulation of the thumb, compared to the lumbar spine. This outcome is a number r
