PARTICIPANTS WANTED FOR RESEARCH!!!

While at the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland Convention on
October 22-24, 2010, we invite you to participate in a fun and easy
study to measure Braille reading styles.  The research is being
conducted by Towson University and National Public Radio with the
consultation of the NFB Jernigan Institute.  All that is required is for
you to read six short NPR stories on a refreshable Braille display and
answer questions about the stories.  The Refreshable Braille Display
will be provided at the session.   Even if you don't often read with a
Braille display, you can participate - we will provide a short training
session in the beginning if you need it.  The entire study should take
around an hour, depending on your reading speed, and you will receive
$40 for your time.  The session will take place at the Doubletree Hotel
in Annapolis, Maryland and we will schedule your participation at a time
that is convenient for you.  We hope you can find time in your busy day
to help us with this important research!

For more information or to schedule a time, please contact Mike Eskenazi
at meskenazi at npr.org or call 978 979 1479.
