Paid fMRI Study: Language and Cognition ($20/hour)

We would like to invite you to participate in a paid research study for the University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language, with primary investigators Dr. Nina Hsu & Dr. Jared Novick. The study utilizes functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), a safe, noninvasive neuroimaging method, to examine the attention-related cognitive and neural systems that support language processing. Eligible participants will have the opportunity to earn approximately $35-$40 over the course of two sessions, while contributing to research in the fields of neuroscience and linguistics.
