The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to
our research mission.<br>
<br>
The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab invites participants to take part
in research studies at the 2018 NFB convention in Orlando. The studies
involve listening to stories, listening to lists of letters, 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 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
<a href="mailto:plasticity_lab@jhu.edu">plasticity_lab@jhu.edu</a>. If
you have previously participated in a study with us, you may not be asked
to go through the screening interview. <br><br>
Thank you for reading our announcement, and we look forward to seeing you
at the convention. <br><br>
