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.<br><br>There are two studies. You can choose to participate in either one or both of these studies. Each study takes 2 hours and participants are compensated $60 for taking part in each study. Prior to scheduling a study appointment we ask that you complete a pre-screening interview over the phone to ensure that you qualify. Among the qualification criteria, participants must be congenitally and totally blind and between 18 and 50 years of age. The screening interview takes between 15 to 30 minutes. Those who take part in the interview will receive a $15 Amazon gift certificate. To find out if you qualify and to sign up for appointment please contact us by either calling (410) 870-9895 or emailing <a href="mailto:plasticity_lab@jhu.edu">plasticity_lab@jhu.edu</a>.<br><br>Thank you for reading our announcement and we look forward to seeing you at the National Federation of the Blind convention. <br><br>Marina Bedny, Ph.D.<br><br>Director of Neuroplasticity & Development Lab<br><br>Assistant Professor<br><br>Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences<br><br>Johns Hopkins University<br><a href="mailto:marina.bedny@jhu.edu">marina.bedny@jhu.edu</a><br><a href="http://pbs.jhu.edu/research/bedny/index.html">http://pbs.jhu.edu/research/bedny/index.html</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
