Emotional Processing and Biomarkers Study
We are looking for healthy volunteers aged 16-35 years to take part in a study investigating how levels of certain proteins, so-called growth factors, influence how we process emotional information. The study involves one session of about 3 1/2 hours at the Department of Psychiatry in Headington, Oxford, including a battery of questionnaires and computer games and a small blood sample. The findings might ultimately help develop a simple blood test indicating the risk of developing anxiety in the future.
Losartan and Emotional Learning
We are looking for volunteers aged 18-50 years and fluent in English to take part in a study investigating how a single dose of the medication Losartan affects certain aspects of learning and memory, which we know are important for psychological treatment to work. Losartan is currently used to treat high blood pressure. However, we think that it may also enhance the effectiveness of psychological treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. The study involves one online screening and one face-to-face testing session of about 2-3 hours in total.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) study
The overall motivation for this study is to improve treatment for people suffering from depression. The purpose of this study is to test if novel brain stimulation changes emotion recognition. The study involves Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), in which we place a stimulation coil over the head, which generates a magnetic field that passes painlessly through the skull to stimulate the brain. The effect lasts for a few minutes. Participants do not normally notice any effect of stimulation, though some may experience short-lasting discomfort during TMS, which can usually be alleviated by adjusting the coil position. By conducting this research, we hope to better understand the effect of brain stimulation on emotional processing, which will inform efforts to improve the treatment of depression.

Volunteers Needed For Parkinsons Disease Study.
If you express interest, you will be invited to come to the Department of Psychiatry at the Warneford Hospital for 3 study sessions. The first would be an initial screening visit to assess your eligibility to take part. If eligible, you would be invited for a further 2 sessions. One would be shortly after you have taken your usual medication, and the other would be conducted when you are in an ‘off-medication state. This would involve missing/delaying your usual medication for a few hours. Each session would take 2-3 hours of your time and will involve completing a set of computer-based tasks. These sessions would be scheduled approx. 2-3 weeks apart.
