The SNaGLab is currently running a behavioral study and is in desperate need for subjects between the ages of 18 and 35. During the 2-hour study, you will be asked to play several versions of a gambling task by yourself as well as with other individuals in your session. Compensation is $10 per hour. Plus, for your participation and performance, you will also have a chance to win bonus cash. Visit the CU Boulder SONA System to find the study (named study 989) and sign up for any session, or reach out via email at cu.snaglab.968@gmail.com.

The CU Boulder Psychology Department is seeking participants for experiments about learning, memory, perception and language. Subjects will be compensated up to $15 per hour.

The Neural Control of Movement Laboratory, located on Main Campus, is conducting a study that examines the effect of electrical stimulation on improving single-leg balance in experienced dancers. Subjects will be compensated with an electrical stimulation device.

Participant requirements:

• Dancer between 18–35 years of age with
• Five or more years of technique-based dance training
• Healthy and free of neurologic disease

The study will consist of one familiarization, two evaluations and 12 treatment sessions, meeting three times per week for four weeks.

• First visit: Familiarization session, about 30 minutes
• Evaluations: Before and after treatment, about 2.5 hours
• Training history, balance, strength and steadiness
• Intervention, about 30 minutes per session

If interested, please email Leah Davis at leah.davis@colorado.edu for more information.

This is a 5-hour study broken up into two sessions (2.5 hours each). Compensation is $10 per hour, plus a $15 dollar bonus upon completion of the second part ($65 total). In the first session you will wear a cap with sensors that records the electrical activity on your scalp (EEG) while reading sentences and answering questions on a computer screen. In the second session, you will do various tasks on a computer (without the EEG cap). The requirements for participating in the study are that you are: right-handed, university student or recent graduate, native English speaker (English primary language from age 5 to present), ages 18-35, not taking psychiatric medications, and have normal or corrected to normal vision. Our lab is located north of East Campus at the Center for Innovation and Creativity (CINC), 1777 Exposition Dr.

BSI (Biological Sciences Initiative) Scholars is a funding and professional development program for current CU Boulder undergraduates.

Eligible students conducting original STEM research are paid to work in a laboratory on the CU Boulder or CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Students also attend seminars to enhance the research experience, and summarize their findings through a presentation at the end of the term.

Applications for the 2017–18 academic year are due Monday, Sept. 18, for students who have not previously received funding through BSI.

For more information, please visit the BSI website.

If you are 18 to 35 years of age, healthy and free of neurologic disease, the Neural Control of Movement Lab, located on Main Campus, is conducting a study on the nervous system’s control of standing balance in young and older healthy adults. Participants will be compensated $40 for the experimental session.

The study will consist of two visits on separate days:

• First visit: familiarization session, approximately 15 minutes
• Second visit: experimental session, approximately 3 hours
• Lower leg muscle contractions
• Standing balance test

If interested, please email Leah Davis for more information at leah.davis@colorado.edu.

If you suffer from chronic back pain you may be eligible to participate in a paid research study on the benefits of a novel mind-body treatment for chronic pain.

The research study consists of two MRI scan sessions four to six weeks apart on the CU Boulder campus, before and after treatment. Participants will be compensated $225. MRI is safe and non-invasive technology for measuring brain function, and participants will be given a photo of their brain to take home. The treatment will be administered at the Interventional Pain Management clinic at the University of Colorado Hospital at the Anschutz Denver metro campus.

Eligibility criteria:

• Age 21–70
• Back pain for the last three months or more
• No metal in the body (for MRI safety)
• No opioid use for more than four weeks in the past two years; opioids include common prescription painkillers like oxycodone (Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin) and meperidine
• Not pregnant due to unclear effects of MRI on a fetus
