Bates College psychology research study (payment = $150)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bates College researchers are investigating the relationship between three naturally-occurring chemicals in the brain (oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine) and aspects of cognitive (thinking) and affective (emotions) functioning in a study funded by the National Institute of Health. These chemicals can be assessed quickly and noninvasively through collection of common bodily fluids such as saliva and blood.<\/p>\n

We are seeking healthy adult volunteers from central Maine to participate. The total time commitment is 3 hours, and volunteers are reimbursed $150 for their time in the form of a check. Participation involves one visit to the Bates College campus in Lewiston for a 2-hour session during the afternoon hours (flexible scheduling) in which we assess your cognitive and emotional functioning and collect a small amount of saliva and blood (via a finger-tip prick). Participation also involves completing questionnaires for 1-hour in the comfort of your own home, then mailing back the questionnaires via a pre-paid envelope.<\/p>\n

We are looking for men and women who are:<\/p>\n

– Age 20 to 80<\/p>\n

– Physically and mentally healthy (no neurological or psychological diagnoses)<\/p>\n

– Right handed<\/p>\n

– Have at least a 10th grade level of education<\/p>\n

– Fully fluent in English<\/p>\n

– Have intact color vision<\/p>\n

– Have not taken illicit drugs in the last month<\/p>\n

\nInterested? Please contact us for more information by emailing Mr. Rishi Bommanan, the Human Neuropsychology Laboratory Coordinator at Bates, at rbommann@bates.edu<\/a><\/p>\n
