Summary

This research is being done to examine the effects of brain cooling on cognition, electrophysiological brain activity via EEG scans, inflammation of the brain, and mood in healthy subjects. Brain cooling has been shown to cause temporary symptom relief after traumatic brain injury, but its implications for general brain and mental health remain unexplored.

DEVICE

Brain Cooling

Brain cooling consists of a 30-minute seated period, in a dimly lit, quiet room, while listening to calming natural sounds, during which they will wear an Arctic Cooling Cap V1.30, set at a temperature of 33.0 degrees Fahrenheit. Participants will be asked to remain awake, refrain from observing a screen, and relax to the best of their ability. This brain cooling treatment will occur on 7 consecutive days.
