[Nfbnet-members-list] Research study recruitment announcement for 2018 NFB convention

[Blake, Lou Ann]

The below research participant solicitation is 
being provided for informational purposes only. 
The National Federation of the Blind has no 
involvement in this research, but we believe that 
it may contribute to our research mission.

The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab invites 
participants to take part in research studies at 
the 2018 NFB convention in Orlando. The studies 
involve listening to stories, listening to lists 
of letters, 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 around 2 hours, and 
participants are compensated $30 per hour 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. To qualify, 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, 
please contact us by either calling (410) 
870-9895 or emailing 
<mailto:plasticity_lab at jhu.edu>plasticity_lab at jhu.edu. 
If you have previously participated in a study 
with us, you may not be asked to go through the screening interview.

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