7:10:A fascinating research opportunity: 

Johns Hopkins Neuroplasticity and Development Lab in Baltimore Maryland directed by Dr. Marina Bedny is seeking participants for research studies of cognition and brain plasticity. They study how the brain adapts in the absence of vision and supports audition, touch, Braille reading and language. Participating in studies involves listening to stories and sounds, feeling Braille or everyday objects, and answering questions about what you hear and feel. Some of the studies involve brain imaging with MRI, while others measure only behavior. To learn more or to complete a screening interview please call 4108709895 or email: plasticity_lab at jhu.edu <mailto:plasticity_lab at jhu.edu>.





Researchers Liz Saccone, Ziqi Chen, and Ziwen Wang will offer more information about this fascinating study, which several of our members have participated in, and will answer your questions.
