Simulated Altitude and Brain Blood Flow Study for Healthy Adults at UB South Campus
Protocol: STUDY00008128
Full Title
Identifying adverse modes via human-machine cybernetic modeling
Description
The University at Buffalo (UB) Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences is looking for healthy adults to participate in an environmental study. The goal of this study is to examine the effects of hypoxia (lower oxygen than room air) on vestibular function (balance) and brain blood flow in healthy adult males and females.

Participants will attend three visits to the UB South Campus (at Main Street and Bailey Avenue). The first visit will be an informed consent and screening visit. The second and third visits are experimental visits. Before the experimental visits, participants will be asked not to have any alcohol, exercise, and caffeine for 12 hours. They will also be asked not to eat anything for 2 hours before the visits. During the experimental visits, participants vestibular function (balance) and brain blood flow will be measured while either breathing room air or a hypoxic gas (for example, lower level of oxygen than room air) to simulate altitude.

If included in the study, participants will be paid $15 per hour for each study visit.
