Although healthy volunteers often serve as controls or primary participants in neuroscience research, they are usually less rigorously screened than patients, which can have far-reaching implications for interpretation of study results. Although this issue has long been recognised, it is rarely discussed in the research literature. This article examines how the rigorous screening and characterisation of healthy volunteers is key for quality research.
尽管健康志愿者通常作为对照或主要参与者出现在神经科学研究中，但他们的筛选通常不如患者严格，这可能对研究结果的解释产生深远影响。尽管这个问题很早就被认识到了，但在研究文献中很少讨论。本文探讨了如何对健康志愿者进行严格的筛选和特征描述，这是高质量研究的关键。
