Then you will have your brain blood flow and blood pressure measured non-invasively using ultrasound and pressure sensors placed on top of your skin at rest and during 3 short challenges. The challenges include 1) a difficult mental task, 2) placing your hand in cold water, and 3) a \u201csimulated-gravity\u201d challenge using a lower body negative pressure chamber. After completing the blood flow testing you will complete an exercise fitness test on a treadmill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is in it for you? <\/strong><br \/>\nYou will receive monetary compensation upon finishing the study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where is the study taking place? <\/strong><br \/>\nIntegrative Physiology Lab at 1640 W.
