Brain Health Study

Volunteers are needed for a brain health study. This study will help develop and refine methods that might ultimately be used to detect brain disease, monitor brain health, and evaluate treatments. This study includes MRI scans, behavioral tasks on a mobile device and activity monitoring.

In order to take part, you must:

•    be between the ages of 55 and 85
•    be able to comfortably lie flat on your back for 30-45 minutes
•    have no serious health conditions

What you will be asked to do:

The study will include 1-2 visits every 3-6 months, spread out over the course of 2 years. Each visit will be about 4 hours long and will be scheduled at your convenience. This study includes MRI scans, behavioral testing, tasks on a mobile device, a blood draw, and activity monitoring. The MRI will last 2 hours, but you will only be in the machine for 20-30 minutes at a time.

Compensation:
You will receive $100 for each scan session, $50 for each hour of behavioral testing, $15 a week for wearing a watch, $50 for a blood draw, and have the opportunity for bonus payments for completing the brain games. Altogether, you can receive up to $1955 if you complete the entire study. Travel costs can be reimbursed.
