Sponsor's own description
This study investigates the capacity of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, applied at the ear, to alter to measures of locus coeruleus output pupil diameter and EEG alpha power. Non-invasive alteration in locus coeruleus output is of interest in regard to basic science and has potential clinical implications in a number of conditions.
