The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab invites participants to take part in
research studies at the NFB convention this year. 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. 
There are several studies available. You can choose to participate in one or
more of these studies. Each study takes around 1-2 hours and participants
are compensated $30 per hour for participating. Prior to scheduling a study
appointment we ask that you complete a pre-screening interview over the
phone to see whether you qualify. Among the qualification criteria,
participants must be congenitally and totally blind and between the ages of
18-50. The screening interview takes between 15 to 30 minutes. Those who
take part in the screening interview will receive a $15 Amazon gift
certificate.
To find out if you qualify and to sign up for study appointment please
contact us by either calling (410) 870-9895 or emailing
plasticity_lab at jhu.edu.
Thank you for reading our announcement and we look forward to seeing you at
the NFB convention.
