Genotyping and nicotine research-study
Purpose: To investigate the cognitive effects of nicotine between individuals with different genotypes. Brain wave activity is looked at to assess attention, memory, and concentration. A saliva sample is taken to assess genotypes.
The EEG lab at The Royal is looking for volunteers:
- 18-40 year old Caucasian males
- Right-handed
- Non-smokers (less then 100 cigarettes in their lifetime)
