PARTICIPATE











We are always in need of volunteers to participate in our studies! Currently, we are recruiting children ages 5-17 and adults ages 18-75 for EEG and MRI studies on cognition. You will be financially compensated for your participation. Read below for more info on our current studies and fill out the form linked if you are interested.
Adults
We are inviting healthy adult males (ages 50+) to participate in our research study on adult male cognition. The study involves two visits, one EEG session (Kennedy Center) and one MRI session (Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center), that will take place on separate days. In both sessions you will listen and respond to sounds for part of the time and watch a captioned movie of your choice for the other part of the time. Snacks are provided during break time, and we give each of you a picture of your brain to take home. Each visit is approximately 2.5 hours. You will be paid for participation at each visit.
The Sussman Lab is currently studying how the human brain processes sound. If you are between the ages of 20 and 40, you may be eligible to participate in an EEG research study to help us achieve our goals. Our current study is 2.5 hrs long and pays $35 for your participation (plus public transportation fees with receipt). The study includes EEG cap placement, watching a movie, and pressing buttons in response to sounds. I hope you consider participating and helping us learn more about the human brain. If you are interested, we will need to complete a short 5-minute survey overt the phone to confirm eligibility. After that, we can schedule your visit at a time that is convenient for you.
Children
We are asking healthy children (ages 5-12) to participate in our NIH-funded research study about child cognition. The study consists of 4 visits. The first two visits are an EEG and an MRI visit, occurring on separate days. The second EEG and MRI visits occur one year later. In both sessions your child will listen and respond to sounds for part of the time and watch a movie of their choice for the other part of the time.
Yummy snacks are provided during break time, and we give each child a picture of their brain to take home. Each visit is approximately 2-3 hours. Your child will be paid for their participation after each visit. Visits take place on the Morris Park Campus and appointments are available Monday through Sunday, including after school.
We are looking for children between the ages of 9 and 16 to participate in a study on auditory processing. This study is two visits and you will be compensated $75 total.
