New as of
DECEMBER 2017:
From PhD student Lisa Levinson: Volunteers needed to participate in an EEG study that explores early-visual processing in individuals with and without dyslexia. We need brains to record! Take some time to become more familiar with your brain, learn a little about electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive technique for recording electrical activity generated by the brain, and contribute to science!
We need study participants who live in the Metro New York area, have normal or corrected-to-normal vision, speak English (primary language), have normal color vision, and fit one of the following categories:
- Adults ages 18–24 years, with a diagnosis of dyslexia.
- Adults ages 18–24 years, without a diagnosis of dyslexia, no family history.
Exclusions:
- Individuals who have severe visual deficits, including colorblindness, or who have experienced seizures, head injuries, or psychiatric illnesses.
- Individuals volunteering to participate in the comparison group (individual without dyslexia) with a parent or sibling with dyslexia.
Participants will receive a $20 Amazon gift card as our way of expressing appreciation for their having contributed time so that we might further understand the potential underlying neural mechanisms contributing to dyslexia.
Lab visits take approximately 2 ½ hours in total.
