I recently became ill with Covid-19 and ended up in Foothills hospital. I am on the mend but have no supports and one thing that helps me to pass the time is beading and coloring as well as journaling. I know that is a long shot and I am not expecting anyone to go out of their way but I have all my beading things but am an in need of beading thread and snacks or anything. All my supports and friends are unable to help me. I am currently at Foothills hospital and you can contact me via here or call my room number at 403-944-6139. If you are to drop things off you have to go to the McCaig Tower 3134 Hospital Dr NW and call 403-944-6664 and a nurse will come and meet you. I have never done anything like this is my life but I need support to pass the time and to keep my mind positive. Thank you for just taking your time to read this and please stay safe and healths. I would even be willing to make something for you in return or etransfer the funds, truthfully if I could go get the things myself I would.

University of Calgary- Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research & Education
We are looking for healthy individuals who are willing to come into the laboratory once to receive brain stimulation while we simultaneously record brain activity around the site of stimulation using an electroencephalograph (EEG).
We believe that stimulating brain regions at different intensities allow us to achieve better understanding of how activity in the prefrontal cortex coordinates with other brain regions. We expected distinctive patterns of brain activation following different stimulus intensities and that these components are uniquely sensitive to stimulation. If we are correct, this can be used to develop biomarkers for future treatment studies.
