Subject: [leadership] study recruitment
I received this note from the Carroll Center for the Blind, which is working to help Johns Hopkins find study participants. See below.
The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab at Johns Hopkins University is seeking participants for an MRI research study on cognition and brain plasticity. The goal of this research is to investigate how the brain adapts to the absence of vision. For this particular study, we are seeking research participants who were born with normal vision and lost their sight during adulthood.
Participating in this study involves traveling to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and doing an MRI scan. The scan session lasts one to three hours. During the scans, participants listen to stories and sounds, and then answer questions about what they hear. Participants are compensated $30 per hour for their time with a pre-paid bank card after the scan session. All travel and lodging costs to and from Baltimore are covered by the laboratory.
To qualify for the study you must be a healthy blind adult between 18 and 65 years of age who experienced permanent vision loss at the age of 18 or older. Before taking part in the study, participants are asked to complete a 30-minute pre-screening interview over the phone to see whether they qualify. Those who complete the pre-screening interview receive a $15 Amazon gift card. To learn more about participating, please contact the lab either by calling plasticity.lab2.
