Brain Changes in Stimulant Dependent Subjects
The purpose of this study is to identify the neurophysiologic indicators of cocaine or
methamphetamine use and withdrawal, to examine the relationship between subjects' reports of
depression, craving, and stimulant use, and neurophysiologic measures, and to identify
neurophysiologic measures which can be used to identify new treatments for stimulant
dependence.

By Incorporating QEEG into clinical trails, the plan is to develop physiologic markers of
treatment efficacy, and to aid in the identification of effective treatments.
