Volunteers make our research possible. We are looking for volunteers just like you to participate in our research studies. If you are interested in participating, please see the list below for the studies we are currently recruiting and email d.galligan@uq.edu.au for further information.

MRI memory study

Subcortical structures involved in resistance to distraction

Volunteers are needed for research exploring differences in brain structure and the relationship to memory processes.

Participation involves an ultra-high resolution 7T MRI scan of your brain at the UQ Centre for Advanced Imaging, as well as cognitive tests to assess memory.

Compensation

Participants will be compensated $20 per hour at the completion of their participation.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this study, potential volunteers must be:

Aged 18 to 50 years
Have no history of brain injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury, concussion, stroke etc.)

Due to the nature of MRI individuals with prosthetic metal implants such as brain clips and pacemakers, or claustrophobia will not be able to participate.
