We are seeking participants for a study of eye movements and brain activity during learning.

Am I eligible?

You are eligible to participant in this research study if you are: 

• CU Boulder student currently in the Boulder area
• At least 18 years of age
• Are fluent in English
• Have not previously taken part in the Online Learning study with our lab 
• Have no history of seizures

What does my participation entail?

The study requires one visit of two hours to the lab on East Campus (1777 Exposition Dr., Boulder, CO 80309—see COVID-19 safety procedures below), plus one 30-minute follow-up questionnaire to be completed online.

The first visit will involve having your eye movements, physiological responses (e.g. heart rate), video of your face/upper body, and brain activity noninvasively recorded while you complete a computer-based reading task and answer several questionnaires. It will take approximately two hours and you will be paid $20 per hour, for a total of $40. About a week later, you will complete a 30-minute online survey; upon completion you will receive an additional $10. 

What are the COVID-related safety procedures?

We will take utmost care to ensure your safety for the duration of the visit, with stringent procedures approved by CU administration. 

• We provide masks, handwashing stations and temperature checks on arrival
• All occupants of the building are required to wear a mask at all times
• All equipment is sterilized between uses with medical-grade disinfectant
• You will be alone in the testing room for most of the study (a researcher will run the session from an adjacent room, instructing you via video conference)
• Only three people will be in the facility at a time (21.5% occupancy)

How will I get paid?

Payment will be via an Amazon gift card. 

What are the next steps?

The goal of our study is to learn about cognitive abilities, the brain networks that are involved in those cognitive abilities, and emotional wellbeing over the course of adolescence. We are interested in understanding how certain cognitive abilities, like being able to pay attention or learn actions that help you achieve goals, may help teenagers to cope with stress and stay healthy. 

This is a two-year study. Over the course of the study, you will have a total of two study visits at our laboratory in Boulder, each lasting about five hours. During these visits you will be interviewed about your life experiences; you will complete some computer games that involve paying attention and learning; you will have a neuroimaging scan while you either rest quietly or play computer games; and you will answer a set of surveys on a computer. 

Also as part of the study, you will complete a set of online surveys and a brief telephone interview once every six months (five times total during the two-year study participation). 

At the end of the study, you will have a final telephone interview, lasting about two hours.

You can earn up to $750 for your time and effort completing all parts of the study. 

Interested students should email raddlab@colorado.edu or fill out the online study eligibility screen. 

If you're planning to graduate in August, please ensure you’ve met the June 1 deadlines. Contact your academic department if you have concerns.
