Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to test the experimental reproducibility and within-subject variability of qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) using two probe compounds: MK3134 and lorazepam.

This study will test the hypothesis that EEG (Electroencephalogram) theta power, averaged across a topographical region of interest is decreased 6 hours after administration of MK3134 compared to placebo.

The objective of this study is to test the experimental reproducibility and within-subject variability of qEEG using two probe compounds: MK3134 and lorazepam.
