Healthy Adults 18 to 65 Needed for Brain Development Research Study

What is the purpose of this study?

The purpose of this research study is to improve EEG techniques and examine how the brain responds to sensory stimuli such as sounds or pictures.

An EEG is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain (or “brainwaves”).

Who can participate?

Healthy adults 18 to 65 years old with no history of mental illness or head trauma may be eligible to participate.

What is involved?

You will be in the research study for about 2 hours and have 1 study visit.

During your study visit, you will take part in an EEG test. Tiny disk electrodes will be placed on top of your scalp and will record brainwave activity in response to sounds or images you see or hear while watching a computer screen.

What are the benefits?

You will not receive a direct medical benefit. However, the information gained from this study may help our understanding of language development and language and attention disorders in the future.

Will I get all the facts about the study?

As someone interested in participating, you will be given a consent form that thoroughly explains all of the details of the study. The form covers all of the procedures, the risks, the benefits, the pay, who to contact with questions or concerns and more. A member of the study staff will review the consent form with you and will be sure that all of your questions are answered.
