Brain Imaging Study and Reading

We are recruit­ing vol­un­teers to par­tic­i­pate in a non-invasive brain imag­ing method called Mag­netic Res­o­nance Imag­ing (MRI).  Brain images of the par­tic­i­pants will be obtained while they per­form sim­ple tasks and at rest. The study appoint­ment will take approx­i­mately 2 ½ hours. Par­tic­i­pants will receive a con­tri­bu­tion toward expenses they may incur due to par­tic­i­pa­tion in this study.

Vol­un­teers must:

1. be between the age of 19 and 60 years of age

2. have Eng­lish as a first language

3. be right-handed

4. have nor­mal vision OR con­tact lenses

5. meet all MRI safety cri­te­ria (no metal in your body)

6. be cog­ni­tively healthy, includ­ing no his­tory of read­ing disorder

7. be a healthy adult meet­ing the cri­te­ria out­lined in (1 — 5 above)
