Aging, Imaging and memory lab (AIM) - Marquette University

The Nielson Lab mostly does studies with older adults with fMRI, EEG and behavioral tasks (memory interventions, etc.). If you are interested in learning about or participating in one of their studies, please contact Dr. Kristy Nielson at kristy.nielson@marquette.edu or nielsonk@mcw.edu.

ClinicalTrials.gov

Explore thousands of research studies in all 50 states and in 204 countries.

Clinical Trials Basics

A clinical trial is the scientific term for a test or study of a drug, therapy, surgical procedure, medical device, or of nutrition or behavioral changes in people. The tests are done to find out if the drug, therapy, procedure, etc. is safe and effective for people to use. The overall purpose of a clinical trial is to learn, not to treat patients. Before you volunteer to participate in a clinical trial, ask about any risks associated with the treatment being tested.
