Brief Summary

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

Nootropics are a group of medicinal substances purported to improve important cognitive functions such as learning, focus and memory. Many of these substances have demonstrated beneficial effects on cognitive performance and overall health. However, a thorough understanding of how these substances and their synergistic effects in the form of a supplement may benefit fundamental brain processes is currently lacking. In the current study, we will investigate the effects of a plant-based, nootropic supplement (https://uk.mindlabpro.com/) on perceptual decision-making (i.e. the ability to make rapid decisions based on sensory stimuli) in healthy adult participants.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will perform a computerised cognitive task assessing their perceptual decision-making pre- and post- 60 days of continuous supplementation with either a plant-based nootropic supplement (Mind Lab pro) or placebo. During testing, electroencephalography (EEG) signals will be captured simultaneously.
