Subject: Johns Hopkins Research Announcement update

The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab in the Department of Psychological
and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University is seeking participants for
psychology research studies. The purpose of these studies is to uncover
similarities and differences in how people with varying lifetime experiences
process information. The studies compare cognition in blind and sighted
individuals in order to better understand how visual and non-visual experiences
contribute to concepts and language.

Participating in our research studies involves listening to stories and sounds,
reading Braille and answering questions. Some of our studies involve getting an
MRI scan. Each study typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours and participants are
compensated $20-$30 per hour for their time.

To qualify for these studies you must be a healthy blind adult between 18 and 60
years-of-age, blind at birth with no neurological disabilities. Prior to taking part in any studies participants are asked to
complete a pre-screening interview over the phone to ensure that they qualify.
The screening interview takes between 15 and 30 minutes and those who take
part in the interview are compensated $15. Participants who qualify will be
entered into a participant database and contacted to schedule a study
appointment.

To learn more, please contact the lab either by calling (410) 870-9895 or
emailing plasticity_lab at jhu.edu<mailto:plasticity_lab at jhu.edu>.

Thank you for taking the time to read this announcement.
