Participate in a Study
There are many opportunities in the lab
to participate in behavioral and brain imaging studies. Behavioral studies
typically
last between
30 minutes and 2 hours and involve using a computer to perform memory
tasks. Participants are presented with stimuli and are asked to perform
simple cognitive tasks (e.g., they may be asked to determine/learn a
rule that governs classification of the stimuli, or they may be asked
to maintain the stimuli in short-term memory). Brain imaging studies
typically last between 1 and 3 hours. Participants lie on an MR table
within the magnet while structural and functional images are collected.
Structural images provide detailed pictures of the brain's shape and
size. Functional images allow researchers to visualize and map the parts
of the brain used to perform simple cognitive tasks.
Sign up to Participate in a Behavioral
or Brain Imaging Study
We are looking for
volunteers who are 18-35 or 60-80 years of age. Because
our studies focus on memory and language, volunteers must be native English
speakers.
If interested, please send an email to wagmanags at gmail.com.
Directions
Behavioral studies take place at Jordan Hall (Building
420) on the Stanford University campus (directions
to Jordan).
Brain imaging studies take
place at the Stanford Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging (CNI), located in the basement of Jordan Hall.
