We will need you to come to the lab a total of 3 times for assessment, task training, and MR scanning sessions. We will need you to provide photos of 6 people who you consider personally familiar via a digital camera that we will loan you. We will ask that you come in for the final two sessions within 24 hours of each other for the purpose of the memory task at hand.

On your first visit, we will ask you to take part in a cognitive assessment and loan you a digital camera that you will use to capture photos of 6 close family members or friends. Then, you will return to our lab for two back-to-back scheduled visits. These visits must be within 24 hours of each other. In the first of the two visits you will perform a few computer based tasks, and on the second visit you will come to our MR facility for an fMRI scan in which you will be performing similar tasks while having the brain scan.

Participant must:

Be 60+ years old

Have no medical implants/ foreign metallic bodies. If, you do have implants, make sure it is MR compatible/safe metals

Meet MRI screening (which is completed during phone call)

Be right handed

Have no claustrophobia

Be able to lay flat for more than 1 hour without interruptions

Have no permanent orthodontic retainer

Have normal to corrected vision

You will receive $10/hr compensation for time spent in our lab and $15/hr for time spent in our MR facility.

Also, we will ask if you would like to have your brain scan sent to our neurology team for an examination for incidental findings. You will receive a report from the neurologist with any follow up suggestions that apply to your scan.
