Each study takes around 2 hours, and participants are compensated $30 per hour 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. To qualify, 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, please contact us by either calling (410) 870-9895 or emailing plasticity_lab at jhu.edu. If you have previously participated in a study with us, you may not be asked to go through the screening interview.
