[Nfbnet-members-list] NFBJI Research Opportunity: to better understand how visual and non-visual experiences contribute to cognition.

[Lewis, Anil]

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

Thank you for reading our announcement and we look forward to seeing 
you at the NFB convention.
