[Nfbnet-members-list] study announcement

[Marina Bedny]

Dear David,

The National Federation of the Blind has generously agreed to let us 
conduct a research study at the 2014 Convention. I wonder whether you 
would be kind enough to forward our study announcement to the 
relevant list-serves? I've pasted the announcement below.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please let me know if I can 
provide any further information.

Research Study at the National Federation of the Blind 2014 Convention

The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab invites participants to take 
part in research studies at the 2014 National Federation of the Blind 
convention. 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 two studies. You can choose to participate in either one or 
both of these studies. Each study takes 2 hours and participants are 
compensated $60 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. Among the qualification 
criteria, 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 and to sign 
up for appointment please contact us by either calling (410) 870-9895 
or emailing <mailto:plasticity_lab at jhu.edu>plasticity_lab at jhu.edu.

Thank you for reading our announcement and we look forward to seeing 
you at the National Federation of the Blind convention.
