Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: healthy
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in brain activation of human anatomy experts versus novices when asked to perform spatial ability tasks. Spatial ability tasks involve understanding and remembering the positions and shapes of objects. This study investigates how different levels of expertise in human anatomy affect brain activity during these tasks.

Participants will undergo brain imaging while performing spatial ability tasks. Brain imaging is a technique that allows researchers to see which parts of the brain are active. This procedure will help compare the brain activation patterns between experts and novices in human anatomy.

  • Who can participate: Individuals aged 18 and older with varying levels of expertise in human anatomy are eligible. Participants should not have any neurological disorders.
  • Study details: Participants will perform spatial ability tasks while undergoing brain imaging. Brain imaging is a technique that shows brain activity. This will help to compare brain activation between experts and novices.
