Neuroplasticity and Development Lab in the Department of Psychological and Brain
Sciences at Johns Hopkins University is seeking participants for psychology
research studies. We study how people with varying lifetime experiences process
information. Our studies compare the brains of blind and sighted individuals.
The goal of this research is to better understand how visual and non-visual
experiences contribute to concepts and language. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">To qualify
for these studies you must be a healthy blind adult between 18 and 75
years-of-age. 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. <A name=OLE_LINK1></A><A
