Dr. Krish Sathian’s lab at Emory University’s Department of Neurology is currently looking for blind and visually impaired individuals to take part in research into tactile perception of shape, texture and other aspects of object recognition.
These experiments involve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Scan sessions normally last one hour and pay $25 per hour (plus travel expenses if appropriate). You must be right-handed and have English as your first language.
If you are interested in taking part in our research, please contact Mark Porath(202) 374-9099, mporath@emory.edu, or Dr. Simon Lacey (404) 957-4567, slacey@emory.edu. They will take your contact details, ask you some questions about your suitability for MRI, and take a brief history of your visual impairment. They may also schedule an evaluation with a neuro-ophthalmologist at Emory Clinic. They can then schedule a scan time convenient for you.
MRI scanning takes place at Emory University Hospital, and the Sathian lab is based in Rooms 6207 & 6209, 6th Floor, Woodruff Memorial Research Building.
