Brief Summary

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

This is a prospective, non-randomized study designed to generate preliminary data to assess the effect of a new portable non-invasive caloric stimulator on EEG waveform and cerebral blood flow on normal healthy volunteers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study activities include monitoring with bilateral transcranial Doppler (TCD), EEG and continuous EKG monitoring at 30 second intervals for 5 minutes. This is followed by placement of the caloric stimulator investigational device for 20 minutes. An additional 20 minutes of TCD and EEG monitoring will also be recorded. This will end study participation.
