The Stress and Neuroimaging Lab offers a number of on-going research studies actively recruiting participants. We are currently seeking military veterans with a history of trauma exposure, depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder, or who might be experiencing symptoms of these conditions. We are also seeking healthy, combat-experienced veterans with no history of these conditions, as well as civilian (non-military) participants.

 If you are interested in participating in research, please visit our Contact or Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.
