Repetitive Brake Activation

Inclusion criteria

• Based on medical history and previous examination, no gastrointestinal complaints can be defined.
• Age between 18 and 65 years. A higher age comes with a higher chance of comorbidities. These could influence our study outcomes and therefore this age range was chosen. Furthermore, we think this study would be too invasive for subjects over the age of 65. This study will include healthy adult subjects (male and female). Women must be taking contraceptives.

The severity of the disease (major interference with the execution of the experiment or potential influence on the study outcomes) will be decided by the principal investigator.
