About this study
This trial is testing a new way to measure brain activity in people who want to quit smoking. The goal is to understand how the brain changes before someone has a lapse (a cigarette use during a quit attempt). Researchers will look at these brain changes and see if they are linked to feelings and whether or not someone smokes later.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
