> The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab, Department of Psychological and
> Brain  Science, at Johns Hopkins University invites participants to take
> part in research studies at the NFB convention this year. The studies
> involve listening to sentences, listening to tones, reading Braille and
> answering questions. The goal of this research is to better understand how
> visual and non-visual experiences contribute to cognition.

> There are several studies available. You can choose to participate in one or
> more of these studies. Each study takes around 1-2 hours and participants
> are compensated $30 per hour for participating. Prior to scheduling a study
> appointment we ask that you complete a pre-screening interview over the
> phone to see whether you qualify.
> 
> Among the qualification criteria, participants must be congenitally and
> totally blind and between the ages of 18-50. The screening interview takes
