What will I do during this study?
The study has an open-label first phase and a randomized second phase. In the first phase, participants undergo EEG (recording of the brain’s electrical activity)-guided propofol sedation designed to produce both dream and non-dream experiences. In the second phase, participants are assigned to a sedation protocol intended to produce dream or non-dream experiences. This takes place outside a surgical procedure.
